Forest Born by Shannon Hale

"She watched the world like most people breathed air." SAME. SAME. SAME.
Youngest child. SAME.
My friend loves this series and it was her childhood series, and I'm just like...pointing out all of the ways that Rin was traumatized (lowercase t) and her attachment style with her mother and fjdskafljdsa
I feel personally victimized by this entire book. I feel seen and I do not like it.
All of my ships. All of my babies. 
Why is she here. She doesn't even go here.

Enna Burning by Shannon Hale

Finn!! Isi! Geric! All of my babies. 
So much tension. Like everyone about to snap.
Can we please just let Geric take a nap.
All of the yearning. A+ quality content. That's some good stuff.
It's the gaslighting for me.
#friendship is magic
I love the characters. I love the magic. I love the friendshisp. Cavity-inducing tooth-rotting fluff right here.

Isi is too pure for this world. We don't deserve her.
The Emotional Support Goose. 
The magic system. Chef's kiss. The father figures. Chef's kiss. The friendship. Great. The love interest. Fantastic. We stan men who adore their love interests and treat them with respect.
Geric is just so anxious and I love it. 
Insert the pride and prejudice hand gif, and the cornfield scene from Wicked, and the Ella Enchanted fight scene
If I were to go off on an enneagram tangent I would totally talk about how Isi is definitely a 4 and honestly. I love it (yes it's because I'm a 4).
The audiobook had a full cast and like...I can't.
