Sleepy

Weyward by Emilia Hart.

This was such a great book that just puts the horrors of being a woman into such beautiful words. I loved how all of them had a strong point into them. Altha's strong sense of justice, this is shown through out the book with both the trail, standing up for herself since she knows she did the right thing, and killing the man to serve justice for grace; Violet with her curiosity, without this constant string of questions she would have never made the life she did, she would have never stood up for herself, she would never would have found out she was a Weyward; and last, Kate with her independence. The first time we see Kate being independent it's her leaving Simon, it's her leaving an abusive relationship, however through out the book we learn that she's always been independent because she could never imagine herself leaning on anyone after her dads death. These girls however also shows the negatives with these attributes as a woman Altha, being outcasted and almost killed; Violet, being shunned from her family; and Kate; almost dies from a man being angry for her independence.

At the end of the book however Kate brings in the two of them and these attributes shown by the bugs and the birds both Violet and Altha coming into her.

I also love the way all three of these girls took on pregnancy. I feel you can not have a feminist book without the topic of pregnancy since for as long as history we have been seen as only baby makers. These three woman all took pregnancy in such different ways. Altha had a sense of duty almost in having a baby however she would never have a man by her side making her an out cast, Violet was not ready for a child showing us truly how young she was and how scared she felt, Kate took her independence and said 'I'm keeping my daughter! '

Quotes: "Drink from me and make me yours. While my heart beats, it will only beat for you.”

“You, covered in my blood. It’s enough to steal my heart forever."

“Oh, Cordelia, you are my oxygen. You are my light and love, but I want to live my life free with you.”

"Her story became a myth, she became a god. And I became a monster."

Thoughts: I very much loved this book. People were saying that Octiva had the angsty 'no one likes me' vibe which I agree with 100% but personally I think it fit her a lot because it makes it more understandable of why she got attached to Red so fast and it gives her kind of a reason to actually give a shit about the games. The complaint of 'oh well there personality do a switch up' yeah and it makes sense the more and more you read because of their past. Yes there is a lot of smut and yes the two do use it in a way to ignore their anger but tbh there are so many books like that and not only that half of the time after fucking Red ends up STILL being pissed which honestly girl you are strong bc after getting fucked I would be happy as a clam. I also really did enjoy the plot the story between Cordelia and Elenore had my heart aching for the two when I wanted to hate them so much I just couldn't not with knowing their pasting and knowing what had made them hate each other. Overall I love this book and I understand the hate but it's a fun book if you are into fantasy smut and lesbians.

Summery: It is about a vampire and vampire hunter who are forced to work together in these games. Throughout the games Red, the hunter, slowly starts to learn about things that Octavia, the vamp, have done and just of Octavia herself. It is also a dual storyline which follows Elenore and Cordelia who are from rival families. The two have to find a way to be together.
