oh so that's what the bridgerton hype is about. i get it now

dexter was charming the ending made me want to crawl into a hole

This book owned me so hard I needed to take a month long break from reading any other form of literature due to the sheer whiplash I experienced reading anything that DIDN'T start with “Can you come into my office?”

so like, am I ever going to get over this book? the likely answer is no, and to be honest- that's perfectly fine with me. just leave me in grishaverse hell, this is nice. i also really need a place to vent out all of my feelings that came outta nowhere after hearing about the netflix adaptation.

(if only cillian murphy could be aged down he'd make a PERFECT kaz brekker thanks)

but seriously, if you haven't read the book whatareyoudoing? it's the perfect balance of everything, thanos would be HIGHLY pleased with this book. it's dark, gritty, and twisted but with interwoven threads of humour and some genuinely light and hopeful moments that make us remember what every single other ya fantasy/dystopian book tries to make us forget: the fact that they're teenagers.

thank you and god bless leigh bardugo for utilizing the character ages in order to create a book i sure as hell haven't read anywhere else. the heart of the book really lies within the fact that these kids are still kids despite going on a mission to retrieve a political prisoner from an impenetrable ice fort, and that they're more likely going to die instead of becoming the richest teenagers alive.

god, i love this book so much.

SO SO SO SO GOOD FOR REASONS I WILL EXPOUND UPON IN AN ESSAY WHEN I HAVE THE TIME
