Mysteries of Thorn Manor Spoilers

I just finished reading it and honestly love it, it’s such a cute and comforting novella.

Silas and Elisabeth’s relationship and development is so cutee

The amount of suggestive jokes Nathaniel makes I can’t

I thought it was the house that was throwing a fit about their relationship but the fact that it was Silas who activated them, best wing man ever.

Elisabeth’s thoughts about the future and what would happen to Silas after they died, and what would happen to Nathaniel and herself because one of them was going to die first almost made me cry, it was so realistic and relatable. It was very touching, especially since not a lot of people in YA think about the future like that. They think about their death but not their death after living a life with their partners but they’re other important things to worry about I guess. But it was refreshing touch.

Elisabeth and Nathaniel’s relationship- chefs kiss

Elisabeth is so cute and sweet and passionate yet so fierce and strong I love her

Ugh I can’t wait until fall to read A Curse For True Love. That’s too long. Why did I do this to myself 😫😫

people who hate darklina dni like this post ain't for you but one thing that i am toying like a cat with yarn is the fact that Sankta Neyar has portend Alina's continued longevity as a life filled with suffering and loss. the question of what will happen to her as she outlives her own myth, in kaz's words 'usefulness', and becomes the most powerful grisha in the world who isn't bound to any man's law?

what will happen when the ravkans who love her turn on her? when ravkan royalty protect her only because she protects them? the only natural reaction to that kind of power is fear. she doomed herself into being an enforcer to an antiquated social system and maintainer of the status quo. her consolidated power can now be used as a tyrannical force for good. the existential angst being overburdened by freedom. perpetual violence as a means of survival. Alina unmaking the Darkling's image of her and creating her own, haunted by the ghosts of a failed revolution.

Something that really bothers me with The Hunger Games is how readily some people dismiss the fact that there's romance in the books at all in some weird attempt to make it sound better. The old 'oh it's really a story about revolution, shame ppl focus on the boring love triangle' 'oh it gets dismissed bc of the love story but it's actually really deep.'

Y'know, as if admitting that one of the core themes is love and human connections somehow makes it a lesser thing. As if it's not the whole point of the books that our lives can't just be about surviving from one day to the next, that we need to live for more than just rebellion and anger and trying to put food on the table. As if our entire human race can't even EXIST without relationships in one form or another.

Can we just not pls k thnx

(This isn't limited to THG, it's just something I see happen a lot with this series in particular.)

Why’d she die like Voldemort lmao? Like what was the reason? Especially since he dies like a normal human
