#readin harrow the ninth

[xoshepard]

man i remember the beginning of the previous book also being a little hard to get through but i am struggling with this book

i think it’s partly that there are things i want to see unfold that aren’t happening yet and also that i just suck at focusing on descriptions of settings and this author LOVES describing settings and they were on the ship and now they’re on mithraeus and then there was that whole planet killing thing and i rly don’t get half of the necromancy stuff either bc i just don’t be knowing about bones and body parts like that

it’s just a hard read for me dhskdhdk

argh no - sigma going 'pull the trigger diana it's the ~logical~ decision' and then when phi goes 'NO DIANA DON'T' goes all 'YOU SHUT UP' wow for one second i almost thought you were actually that calm and advocating on nothing but logic there sigma.

(no not at all not even for a second)

(he goes from so calm and composed and ~come on diana you knwo what the right decision is' to a split second of full terror and furor 'DO NOT DARE ENDANGER YOUR LIFE PHI' as if he hasn't spend the whole puzzle panicking)

meanwhile phi going 'oh how dare you NOT THINK ABOUT DIANA'S FEELINGS' and then when diana does pull the trigger and it is the worst case scenario who is it who goes "HOW COULD YOU YOU MURDERER' at her ?

the fucking hypocrisy of those two. so sorry diana you deserve better than those two liars not even able to say that what matters most right now is the other's life until it's too late

(they don't cope to it either in the best case scenario. sure the discussion does go 'she made a decisions that COUlD HAVE KILLED YOU' 'whatever it was to save you!' but. yeah. IDIOTS ;_;)

[xoshepard]

stop stop stop that’s not even what happened

[xoshepard]

oh god she really just did all this to try to save gideon?

[xoshepard]

there’s a comment, i think in the name pronunciation guide, about how the only lyctors that are suited for survival are the motherfuckers (not in those words but i’m so peeved rn dhjshdjs) and i would like to nominate that as understatement of the century bc i’m ready for every single one of these bitches to fade into nonexistence god DAMN

[xoshepard]

another reason this is such a hard read is bc i am tired of everyone being assholes to harrow 100% of the time

[xoshepard]

okay man that book was so weird

if Just Some Guy-us is rly dead then would harrow rly be able to be back at the locked tomb?

assuming maybe the river drift ?? took her body with gideon back to their system and ??? somehow she got found ?????

and do the rebellion ppl live in like. new york city? bc that’s who camilla is with right?

[xoshepard]

girl if some guy-us fucking knew that they didn’t have to kill their lyctors why did he let every single one of them do it

why ??? didn’t he figure out what was happening and stop the first one ?????

[xoshepard]

harrow seeing gideon in her insane dream sequence :(

[xoshepard]

CAMILLA?????

[xoshepard]

gideon the first attacking her in the bath, ianthe seeing her beat to hell and just walking away, the emperor acting like her retaliating is worse than gideon slicing her up and trying to murder her forever like-

[xoshepard]

girl WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THIS HORROR MOVIE SCENE OF CYTHEREA

[xoshepard]

i guess shit is about to go down but i do find it fully insane that everyone just left gideon the first in the river fighting the resurrection beast to come play out this soap opera episode HDJDBDND

[xoshepard]

LMAO HER NAME IS WHAT NOW

[xoshepard]

god the emotional rollercoaster that i’m on rn
