My library also has a location code as the first element of the shelfmark.

Celeborn. I’m SO excited to finally see him and what they do with his character and his story.

I just feel like bringing this up again today.

that was my second thought after my first thought (“AAAAAAHHHH”)

this wouldn’t happen twice. would it…?

IS THIS REAL AAAAAAHHH

hi me too ✋🏼

I knoooow but it is very important to me personally that they do not go with greyish blond. Or anything resembling movie Celeborn’s hair tbh 🙈

but … blond???

I really hope blond is a spectrum that accommodates sth that could properly be called silver here 🥹

SLEEP TOKEN GRAMMY NOMINEE I AM YELLING

Skeletons who love tidying things and reading moist books are very important too. #bookshopsandbonedust #satchel

I’m reading this book and the FMC just said about a car crash that thankfully there was a bush “to slow my inertia”.

Correct me if I’m wrong …

came here for the comments and was not disappointed

Jamie Campbell Bower’s favourite Sleep Token song is Euclid.

I am going to lose my mind.

“It’s still the autumn leaves
These ancient canopies
We used to lay beneath”

“YOU ARE ALL MY SYMMETRY
A PARALLEL I WOULD KAY MY LIFE ON”

Has that song been making me think of Celedriel? HAS IT??

ah cool :) i love King of Scars/Rule of Wolves and Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom so much.

same, he grew on me so much, poor guy. and you have a point about Dawes, she’s definitely the mom friend

on the topic of resonance, she also does that so brilliantly with phrases imo. like “This town” in the first book.

have you read LB’s other books too?

yes! omg Turner. he’s great too and i got that vibe as well.

i loved that Mercy became an honorary member of Lethe, though. and i lowkey ship Dawes and Tripp. though, we don’t actually know what’s up with Tripp, currently, do we? btw i think his backstory is such a good example of how LB creates very strong resonance very quickly

me too! i do think Alex and Darlington are endgame, right? and LB does like writing demon boyfriends. but i really wonder how things will unfold in the third book, i don’t really have a theory. which is a good thing.

that said i admit i don’t remember the second book as well as the first.

although they should be using to protect others like her

yes, and i always thought there’s also this intense sense of betrayal because she’s found this thing that can protect her and that she would have needed so much earlier in her life (i love the scene leading up to the crystal glassware smashing) and now there are all these people abusing that power

actually about what she might want from Darlington, not his attraction to her. am i remembering that right?

but it’s also so interesting in terms of the narrative of their romance that they spend more time apart than not across both books

that’s very true. i think i kept expecting there to be sth clearer from Alex’s side, but her desire to save Darlington is also to tied up with guilt and fear, it’s literally too complicated. but the “serve you” thing is actually in her dream, right? after the party at … was it Manuscript? so that’s

(and I just remembered “I will serve you til the end of days” so probably it’s clear how Darlington likes Alex lol)

(i’ve read the book a few times but it’s been a little while)

takes what she can get and doesn’t turn out to be an academic or artistic genius and how Dawes bargains for her in the end. 🫶🏻

i think his and Alex’ relationship is so interestingly done cause to me it’s never quite clear how exactly they like each other. like, could be romance, but could go another way, too.

also, ALSO, the corrupt Lethe subplot and “we are the goddamn shepherds” (i quote from memory lol) and how Alex

Leigh Bardugo writes such good characters and I agree, Alex is such a good female lead. her relationship with her mom is so well done too imo. and Dawes, my darling, I love her and her cooking sm. also the house with the magical google library. and i do love Darlington and his obsessiveness and +

I love this book so much too!
