I'm halfway through Court of Thorns and Roses and I am way too invested in this potentially toxic relationship but gahhhhh please make out soon, Feyre and Tamlin!

Also, Lucien must be protected at all costs.

They are so freaking cuteeeeee.

Disaster is on the way, I know it.

Please let them make out first though.

MOAR KISSES

GO AWAY RHYSAND.

HOW DARE YOU THREATEN MY BABIES

IT HAPPENED. OH MY GOD IT HAPPENED.

IT WAS HEARTBREAKING BUT PERFECT.

THIS BOOK IS GOING TO KILL ME

*sobs forever*



(Also, I'm not devouring this book like I know should which is why these updates are coming like a day at a time. I am savoring every word of this book, rereading certain sections daily, I have issues)

I don't want to talk about the last chapter because it made me very sad.

However, Lucien is like the audience insert and I feel his thoughts

That also applies to me because I perked up reading that they were going to throw a ball...

I have hopes that probably won't come true. BUT I REALLY WANT THEM TO

Full disclosure: I'm probably reviewing this for the blog and I have tried extremely hard to sound ~professional~ and whatnot.

My initial thoughts for this review are not going to sound that way. Like I may get very weird.

Last night's chapter was not exciting at all but it's fine.

What I want to talk about is that there are times I'm disappointed the chapters are so short instead of long.

But sometimes the short chapters pack A LOT OF GOODNESS in them and I'm like, "Okay thank you."

This has been a rollercoaster and now I don't know which I prefer. And I can't ever be like "Oh, it's a short chapter, meh."

She's got me excited over everything and it's ridiculous

Alright, my babies are still not reunited but I can't drag on the chapter because it involved sisters with a messed up relationship and that's kind of my thing.

The ball is next though!

(It's probably going to destroy me!)

The ball was a bust. There are certain moments where she leans into seminal Beauty and the Beast scenes but this was not one of them.

After the ball though? GAHHHHH ONLY PAIN WILL HAPPEN FROM NOW ON I FEAR

(MY BABIESSSSSSSS)

THE PAINNNNNN IT HURTS TOO MUCH

I have no idea how they can fix this.

My babiesssssss

That curse is doomed by semantics btw.

Like how does doing *that thing that made me very happy* not break it?

Why does it have to be said?

Oh. We've reached the point where the book is going to severely stress me out now.

The villain is great but I just want my babies happy.

Okay, they sort of explained why it needed to be said. I disagree with this but whatever.

Also, I now have less 100 pages left and a challenge has been issued to last months. Does this book end in cliffhanger? I have book 2 being delivered this week...

(Which is something I haven't done in AGESSSSSSS. This book has taken over my lifeeeeee)

Okay, I still don't really know what Rhysand's deal is so I'm still wary of him despite fandom's obvious love of him.

DO NOT TOUCH MY PRECIOUS BABY LUCIEN AGAIN THOUGH

One challenge down and oh God, that was hella stressful.

And seriously, what is up with Rhysand???

I keep joking that this book will cause my death but I now feel it definitely will. You're all warned.

Alright, unless my beloved does something truly heinous (and I'm struggling to decide what that would be), I do not understand loving Rhysand.

I get that it's book 1 but he is SUCH A DICK.

Then again, it's probably because he's tall and lean with black hair

Fandom always loves those guys!

See: Snape, Kylo Ren, Loki (guilty)

I'm half tempted to start writing my review now because I have some funny zingers that I don't want to forget...

Rhysand is infuriating and confusing.

He is a pure chaos monster.

(This is not to say I dislike him. I'm mostly untrusting due to his actions earlier in the book)

Well, this last chapter is not sitting well with me at all.

I have an idea of what Rhysand is up to and if I'm right, I *might* be okay with some developments

However, the way he treated Feyre was abhorrent and frankly, I'm disappointed that he's seen as another love interest.

Like this thread started because I worried she and Tamlin were toxic and Rhysand was just hiding in the shadows...

I'm still very shaken by that chapter and what I believe happens in the other books. I fear my obsession might be for naught.

Alright, the challenges are moving way faster than I thought. And I still feel correct about Rhysand but he's going to have to do THE MOST to make me turn to his side.

But the music section?! GAH MY HEART. JUST LET MY BABIES BE HAPPY TOGETHER

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP TORTURING MY PRECIOUS LUCIEN

*sobs* They reunited briefly and it was wonderful but obviously shit is still happening and it was way too short.

And I was correct about Rhysand and slowly coming around but not to that extent.

While I'm not complaining about that reunion scene, I wish they could have spoken. But I get it.

*sighhhhhhh*

All I can say about the final challenge:

Because of how I read (which is weird), I now only have one chapter left which means tomorrow I'll write my insane review of this book.

The two chapters after the final challenge: OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDD

(And I totally knew that was the answer to the riddle, worst timing ever)

As I've been doing the ENTIRE time, I reread the two chapters again and I am...not okay. But in a good way?

Gahhhhh this book
