I forgot that one of the first things Alex says to Darlington in ninth house is "it's your job to teach me, not to test me. they're not the same thing"

get their (The Education System's) ass Ms Bardugo!!!!!!

Anastasia attempted schmoozing Morgyn Ember before dueling them, and they STILL kicked her ass....hubris in its naked form

if you think about it, the substance is just the cinderella fairy tale for the nine houses and it's set on the Third

okay going to shut up about this immediately but the fact that the book about Ivy League bullshit takes the stance that necromancy is a Privilege and used to cement the legacies of the rich and powerful. And necromancy has a fuckton to do with words. like yeah history is written by the powerful. It’s fitting that it happens at a college.

I'm only four chapters into The Raven Boys and I already have a conclusion to make: Gansey = Darlington

[fingertipsmp3]

Had a dream they made a movie of the Locked Tomb and the actor they cast to play Palamedes was absolutely STACKED and also Camilla had necro ability suddenly? And also there was a tenth house but the inhabitants of it were just crabs

Made a Barnes & Noble run today while my wife's car was in the shop. Picked up a few books, spent more than I intended lol

Conjuring of Light by V.E Schwab I've already finished this one, but I have the first two sitting on my bookshelf so I figured I'd add it to the set.

Fragile Threads of Power by V.E Schwab Currently reading this one, but its the fourth installment in the series, and I added it to my bookshelf to complete the series.

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo First in the series, ans supposedly readers of the Darker Shade of Magic series enjoyed it so I figured I'd give it a go.

Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo Second installment of the Ninth House story, so figured I'd grab them both at the same time and save myself another trip.

With the exception of a headache, its been a pretty relaxed day running around town with the wife while we waited for her car.

My new Dante is eager and I suspect my primary task will be to keep that enthusiasm from killing him. How easily he speaks of magic, as if it is not forbidden, as if it does not always ask a terrible price.

it’s interesting to me that for a series that promises an unflinching look at the reality of a world where the wealthy have access to magic and don’t care about the negative impact that it has on other people (and i think does largely do a good job of showing that!), the ninth house series seems to sort of … pull its punches when it comes to the suffering the characters endure at the climax of each story? recently reread ninth house for the first time in years followed by hell bent, and the scene where the souls that marguerite belbalm consumed then consuming her felt sort of. ikd. optimistic? after all the emphasis on “consumption of souls” heavily implying the idea that those people had totally ceased to exist and had only become fuel for belbalm to draw upon it was a bit confusing to learn they were actually all still around and could take vengeance on belbalm. and then in hell bent tripp turns into a demon instead of completely dying which is probably not, like, a super fun experience, but he seems to almost completely maintain his personality from before so it almost feels like nothing major really happened to him, as opposed to linus reiter, who seemingly was utterly eradicated by the demon who took his place. idk. both of those things kind of made me go “this feels like it is breaking the established rules of the universe in order to make things not be as bad as they would actually be.” i don’t know if there’s a bigger conclusion from this, i’m just thinking about it since i recently finished hell bent.
