It's been about a week since I finished Alchemised and I'm still not over it. I wouldn't have touched this if it hadn't come in my Fairyloot box, and I still don't think something with that many difficult topics and necessary trigger warnings should have been in a monthly book box in the first place, but to my own surprise I don't regret reading it in the slightest. I read this 966 page monster in the span of four days (which is remarkable considering that I usually think anything over 400 pages is kind of too long lol).
It wasn't an easy thing to read, and considering its many difficult topics it feels kind of wrong to say that it was "good", but it was very well-written and compelling to read. And eerily, brutally realistic in some places. I'm also not sure I'd call what Helena and Kaine have a romance - it's certainly not healthy, but the hopelessness and despair of it all, and still it's the one thing they cling to when all else fails? Damn, I felt that.
I'm not sure I'll ever read it again, but it's going to haunt me for a long, long time. 10/10
Stop what you're doing and go read M. Stevenson's Behooved. It's so fucking funny I can't. And the chemistry is off the charts. 100/10
Me, reading a book about necromancy: this is so good but I really didn't expect the necromancy
Me, reading the sequel: ...again, the necromancy caught me unawares
Why am I like this xD
Eyes of the forest. Aspen trees
Why does this remind me of Bambleby's realm...

Just finished The Night Ends With Fire and now I need the sequel but unfortunately, it's scheduled for August 2025.
...why do I have to sit on that cliffhanger for so long? TT_TT
I'm still processing the book but what I can say is that I'm really not sure whose team I'm on love triangle wise. Sky? Lei? Both are good but she'd work out fantastic without any man by her side at all.
...also part of me is crackshipping Meilin and Winter. Winter had far too little screen time. He might also be gay idk xD
That aside: fuck Sparrow, fuck Tao, nobody needs snakes like you~
So I finished Foul Heart Huntsman a couple of days ago and... one the one hand I'm glad that I've now read them all, but on the other hand... I will miss the Secret Shanghai series so much?? I read In True Delights, too, and it was perfect, what with everyone's silly antics and over-the-top drama and... ah well, I still can't find the proper words.
For the record, I may sound calm but that's a lie xD these books made me do pterodactyl screeches and wail in despair, cackle like a madwoman, and arghhhh I'm not good at expressing it but I just had all the feels ok. All of them. I picked up These Violent Delights last September and expected to not like it for some reason - the last thing I expected was falling madly in love.
So thank you, Chloe - for writing something that made me remember what it's like to be obsessed with something in all the best ways, even though the intensity of my enthusiasm for your work might have scared all of my friends away from it (I'M SORRYYYY I just wish they'd read it I why has nobody I know read it I need to talk about itttt). TVD was one of the books that got me into reading again and I'm better for it.
Also, I will probably never get over Juliette slamming her hands down on her dad's car and going "Father, I crave violence!", or Orion being like "how do we know these people??????" and Rosalind going "omg that's beside the POINT those to are literally backstory!!" Peak humour
I could go on for days about how I love everyone and their slightly unsettling attitudes to backstabbing and murder but maybe I shouldn't xD soo long story short: THANK YOU CHLOE I LOVE EVERYTHING ♡♡♡
Somehow, reading Sophie Kim's The God and the Gumiho made me want to rewatch Tale of the Nine-Tailed...
(Yes, I liked both. A lot.)
I'm glad Chrysantha respects books and libraries at least 😂
Though I did like The Shadows Between Us a lot more than The Darkness Within Us. I rolled my eyes at Alessandra a lot, but she had agency and a likeable love interest for the entire story. Chrysantha? I know I as a female reader was supposed to react like this, but I was so upset about the way she was treated. This overwhelming and bitter feeling of powerlessness, ugh. The first third of the book was no fun to read at all, and I hated Eryx from the depths of my heart. I did get better, yes. But I while I would read Shadows again, I don't think I could stomach Darkness a second time - the book simply makes me way too mad (because it hits too close to home).
Both were good books though. Even if Alessandra and Kallias should never be allowed unsupervised in a library again, and despite the fact that everyone is waaaaaaay to cool with murdering people xD

"Why are we eating in a library?"
Very good question!
"My father had this old people hobby called reading and I liked my father but I don't care for books lol"
Yes. I noticed. Please can someone kick these people out of the library XD
Who let these people into the library? As if it wasn't concerning enough they regularly dine there, now he's also disrespecting the books! I don't care he's the Shadow King! Where's the librarian?!
XOXO and ASAP were kind of guilty pleasure reads but tbh I LOVED them. ASAP even more than XOXO.
Ohhhhhh I hope Axie'll write books for Sun and Youngmin too ♡_♡
I kind of should be reading Ruthless Vows with a friend but neither of us have started yet, and maybe I uh. Instead of starting RV I finished Foul Lady Fortune, read Last Violent Call and then instead of starting Foul Heart Huntsman I read Axie Oh's XOXO. I might have started ASAP today.
...well.

Ok weird, why is Chloe posting Last Violent Call memes 5 minutes after I finished it? Can this truly be a coincidence? Is Chloe Gong stalking me???
Caraval's ending is complete nuts.
"Hey I know you just had the worst day of your entire life and you just witnessed some really gruesome, traumatizing things like a couple of hours ago but actually everything is fine, so let's go party!!"
