Thank you Natasha Pulley for my old man yaoi
#she said valery is 43 and konstantin is 51 and i was like thank god#wow am i going to experience this with every one of her books? just like. every human emotion ever#feel like i need to start rationing them because there’s a finite amount and i will get the book hangover to end all book hangovers#once i’m done reading all of them. like the slump will be so intense#also truly i DO NOT get the ‘her books are too similar’ criticism. first of all how is that a criticism???#when i finished the mars house i was like okay i want to read this but slightly to the left#so then i picked up valery k and i was like perfect. give me 5 more of these right now#also lowkey they’re not that similar??#okay so there’s always an adorable dork who is also sort of an abacus person#their love interest is always very strong and capable of hurting them but Absolutely Doesn’t Want To because he is too kind#the romance? Very slow burn and you gotta read between the lines#the society? horrifying and depressing place#the morality of every character? massive spectrum of shades of grey#the infodumps? there. the cameos? octopi#but liike it’s a different depressing society each time okay. and valery doesn’t have that much in common with gale#they’re both a bit frail; very knowledgeable about niche topics and can do maths very fast. and are very very dangerous#except in gale’s case; gale is the only person who doesn’t realise. and in val’s case; val is the Only one who knows he’s dangerous#okay i’m done dissecting this now and i’m going to read something else#personal
