WHY DID THIS HAVE TO SHOW UP RIGHT BEFORE NANOWRIMO....
As I have said from the beginning, I love Simon and I love Audric, and I don't care what other people think.
So I saw those plot twists... 

Did Claire Legrand throw some shade on JK Rowling and one of her most iconic lines..... (I don't remember the page, but it felt like it).
Remy must be protected at all costs.
I honestly would die for most of these characters....I love watching them suffer, but I would die for them.
Yes queen! Say no to the toxic jerk. Toxic, verbally abusive, gaslighting jerk-face. I give all the standing ovations, and all the hugs. Yes you queen. 
Ummm.....So....that ending....Ummm....Can we talk about that. Like it was beautiful and amazing, but I'm in pain...Like I get it, but like.... I want to break something...besides my heart. 

WHY IS THE FANDOM SO SMALL. I NEED ALL THE FANARTS. AND THE FANFICTION. GUYS. ANYBOYDY.. please... I have a book hangover.

Kingsbane by Claire Legrand

Audric's mom really do be like Lady Catherine from Pride and Prejudice.... Also my boy gonna need therapy or something...
....Do you ever just see a relationship and love it, but you're also like.....this is going to crash and burn because someone is going to ruin it..... And the cinnamon roll will either not know anything or they will die from the agony.
,,,,,so that was spicy....
Also my brain is getting Wicked and Phantom of the Opera vibes. Except my cinnamon boy is too good to even be compared to Raoul....ugh..cringe.. even though he make stupid decisions....he's doing his best.
I did not sign up for this bamboozling...
Me watching characters do things....because.....yeah....why can't they just use their brains.....

Furyborn by Claire Legrand

I will always doubt a character death if they die out of sight, and even if they die in front of the main character, I still might not believe it. I done been wrong too many times.
Kind of gives me Three Dark Crowns vibes...which is stressing me out....
and my brain thought of LOTR.
Ok but to be human is to have darkness and try to overcome that darkness....
Can we just..... I'm stressed... like...y'all are making romantic relationships too complicated and problematic.... you better stop.
When you're reading a book and you can just tell that everything's gonna go to ish

And then you have a crack theory about a lost friend's identity
aaaaand all the phantom of the opera point of no return references
aaaaand I've got a bad feeling about all of this...

Y'all.... None of this ish would happen if all y'all would just be honest.
