Imagine searching your whole life for answers, and then finally finding them. A part of you is excited to know the truth. Another part of you is damaged, because you realize why it was so hard to learn answers.
Secrets aren't usually very pretty.
In the midst of all of it, the four monsters I've gotten too attached to are about to be reunited with the one woman they all once loved so deeply that they sacrificed everything to have an eternity with her.
They said they hated Arion, but I never see hatred when they're around him. I see frustration, resentment, anger, and pain, but never hatred.
They say they hate Idun, but until she returns, I won't know how true that really is. All the pretty monsters don't have simple emotions, because everyone has lived so long that it's gotten entirely too complicated to feel anything too much.
The only way to figure out what happens next is to stop stalling and start doing, while silently hoping it doesn't cost me everything I never knew I wanted...until it landed in my lap.
My life sucks so hard sometimes.

DNF 55%. Eff this, I'm so done with this series. I would've been done in the middle of Book 2 (I didn't like Book 1 but was giving it the benefit of the doubt), but I bought the entire series on the back of others' recommendations so I felt like I needed to keep going to see if it got better. No, no it did not. Still the same vague, “swirly” writing style, with dialogue so stilted and people in this feel like they're not even speaking the same language, considering the way they constantly misunderstand everything everyone says.
Creepy asshole characters who don't see anything wrong with filming someone (without consent) having sex or showering, then sending it to other people, and a stupid heroine who whines about other people not telling her things but is the exact same with expecting others to know what she's thinking by cryptic comments. Convoluted writing that circles and goes nowhere, with infuriating characters who are too cryptic for their own good. The writing is abysmal, like being caught in someone's feverish writing sessions, vomiting as many words as possible onto the page without a clear idea of where to go (which is why everyone says vague shit all the time, apparently a pantser writer who can't commit and doesn't know how to actually plot). Stupid, asinine characters just top the crap cake.
Spent way too much time on this series, so fucking done.
