#Makoto Khitan

[murasaki-cha]

Ok I've been thinking about this the whole day and I'm gonna post some of my Fearless predictions and come April I'll see if Apollo has bestowed upon me the gift of prophecy

Kai will be working together with Lenny to investigate the healers and get evidence that the Ordinary disease is fake while Paedyn spies on Kitt.

Kitt will actually be an evil king next book but that's because of Calum's manipulation while Paedyn will try to open his eyes to the truth.

Paedyn denying her engagement with Kitt, denying him as a lover or whatever sick punishment he's trying to give to Paedyn through this engagement but still trying to convince him that she really considered him a friend and a future king she could trust.

Kai will try to keep his distance from Paedyn and Kitt because he wants to keep Paedyn safe but Paedyn won't let him. I hope we get a parallel to the “No, I’m sick of running. And I won’t spend the rest of my life doing it unless it’s you I’m running back to.” line with Paedyn telling Kitt she's still running and Kai overhearing this.

Calum gets revealed as an evil mastermind that has been playing both sides, the Resistance and Ilya and also manipulating Kitt.

Paedyn going to Ava's tree to talk to her.

Paedyn visiting Adena's grave.

Paedyn killing Blair (this is more of a desire honestly).

Paedyn and Kai get secretly married. Ok I know a wild one BUT imagine Paedyn and Kai sneaking during the night in the gardens where they almost kissed and reciting wedding vows to each other promising themselves to the other with the stars as their witness.

Paedyn meeting Mak. I need it. I need it so badly you don't understand.

Kitt in the end fighting alongside Paedyn and Kai and realising he is not lacking, he is not unloved and he is not alone.

@kaiazerofilya - I’m his darling. His undoing. I was supposed to be his forever.

@kingofilya - Apparently supposed to be my husband. Basically his father 2.0. I hate him.

@adenalovesstars - My best friend, practically my sister. Also the most talented seamstress I know. I love her more than I love myself.

@maklovesstars - I don’t know you well but I know A likes you. Hurt her and die.

@the-enforcers-cousin - Andie! Super cool and fun to talk to!

@ordinaryfinn - Resistance member. Biggest flirt I’ve ever met.

Hey, so where the fuck is Makoto in Reckless? When is he making an appearance? Is he even showing up?

Why the fuck is there a whole ass book dedicated to his love story and his (in the words of Stephanie Garber) Almost Ending, to NOT APPEAR IN RECKLESS?

I REFUSE TO BELIVE IT.

I absolutely LIVE for his dialogue. He is unintentionally funny and it’s LOVELY. He HAS to show up eventually or I’ll actually stab myself on a blunt tree branch and die like Adena cuz what the fuck.

🕊️The Song of Achilles🕊️

-Madeline Miller-

This is perhaps the most excited for a book I have ever been, and I think that's why it took me so long to get round to it. Having also just watched season 3 of Heartstopper I completely agree with the review that, 'I knew it would be sad, but I wasn't prepared to cry for four hours.' Miller's writing is honestly so beautiful. It's not overly poetic where you have to reinterpret every word for a sense of what is happening, but was hardly simplistic. It took no effort to read at all; page danced after page with just rich characterisation and emotion. Even if you have little interest in Greek mythology, simply the relationship between Patroclus and Achilles is worth reading for. The nuances of Ancient Greek society are so often underplayed in contemporary media, and its quite saddening. I feel a lot of the time their rich sexuality is underplayed and rather interpreted modernly, often times with these homosexual relationships just being completely erased.

The Song of Achilles is undeniably important in painting more accurate depictions of the beliefs of past societies. Whilst not entirely truthful, some aspects of Achille's character is underemphasised to make him more understandable and his relationship with Penthesilea is largely ignored, it brings to light issues with reinterpreting Ancient media.

🐦‍⬛Crooked Kingdom🐦‍⬛

-Leigh Bardugo-

To be completely honest, it took me quite a while to actually get around to reading this sequel. Despite the cliffhanger I wasn't desperate to get this next book. I also, for the first time this year, fell into a bit of a reading slump with this book. Lots happened but only until about 200 pages left was any of it relevant. I think just too much was put into one book. There was at least three different plot points and so much different interaction between characters. It just became quite tiring at points. I recall reading at least five chapters of backstory in a row, which didn't really strengthen any connection with the characters, as it would just be followed by more backstory, and more characters.

However, I still love the world and the Crows and the general action of the book. I just think, in comparison to the first book, there was a less fluid motion of action, and at points pacing fell a bit flat.

🌿Powerful🌿

-Lauren Roberts-

[Spoilers]

Another sequel! Initially I didn't quite care for Adena as a character, but was excited to return to Roberts' writing. However, perhaps after reading such well written, lyrical, books, this just felt completely underwhelming. The vast majority of writing is just speech, and it actually had little emotion, and again, there was a massive problem with focus.

You would imagine with a pre-ordained ending, there would be so much foreshadowing, or at least some kind of irony, that draws you out of the story and reminds you of the painful ending. It's quite a unique situation, that every reader knows how the story will end, yet none of these incredibly emotive techniques were used.

It was just simple. There wasn't anything special about the relationship portrayed or the story around it. The focus of this story I felt was even more of an issue. There are brief mentions of the first book and Paedyn and the Trials, yet all of them feel like an after-thought. Adena is not scared of her friend's mortality at all. Furthermore, after Hera dies (Makoto's cousin- and emphasised to be only support left) you would expect some sort of reaction from Makoto but the responses he gives seem like Roberts had forgotten this happened and simply needed to remind herself.

It was completely unrealistic. Characters acted more like robots, and the book just failed to create more interest in the main story and world.

I put this song in my Kaidyn playlist but then as I was once again listening to it, it hit me

This is actually Mak and Adena's song

And now everything hurts

[nerd-but-cat]

Was there anyone else absolutely terrified to read Powerful, knowing that it's Adena's story?

IT WAS FREAKING WARRANTED CUZ THE WAY I SOBBED OMG—

[bookaddictedrose]

Adena's death hurt so much from Pae's perspective, but oh my god from Mak's perspective, I was quite literally SOBBING T-T

In the end, it was all light and dark, loud and soft.

I knew nothing but the memory of those I loved.

One, a friend. The other, unfinished.

And that alone is what I took with me into the next life. But I watched, warm and bright and high above.

Just like he promised.

And Makoto's perspective of her death the chapter beforehand — I just can't, it was so poetic.
