Fictional Man Obsession Of The Month:

did everyone on the writing team for S3 of Young Royals just completely forget about Russeau?? August buying him for Sara was such a huge deal in S2 and she loved him but like he didn't have a single appearance and none of the characters mentioned him. He was like my favorite character before. I miss him.

Fictional man obsession of this month:

✨️Lestat de Lioncourt✨️

(1994 movie version, currently reading the vampire chronicles as well)

nothing of my fire remains but a tiny little flame. I cradle it as I sit alone, yearning for the moon. I don't cry, my heart bleeds on paper.

am i the only one who imagined kavinsky to look just like iceman from top gun?? just looked at fanart after finishing tdt and apparently his hair isn't blond??

Perfect summary of why I adore this book

Does anyone else just sit and think about the fact that Six of Crows is literally the perfect book?

Like, we have a morally grey character who's actually morally grey and has a real reason to push people away other than "once I killed someone in self defense, so I'm a terrible person and we can't be together." And every other character has a super fleshed out backstory as well, including real world problems that don't usually get talked about in fantasy books.

There's just as heavy an emphasis on platonic love as romantic love, instead of "I can fix him", it's "he can fix himself", there's a gay couple that's actually happy and not suffering every five pages, and all of the gay characters have personality traits outside of the fact that they're gay.

And speaking of the romance, it's so not rushed or sexualized. No one even kisses in the first book, but it's still so obvious how much they love each other. Each couple has such a different dynamic, and the way their pasts mirror each other? Perfection. (I also firmly believe that Kanej is the best couple in all of YA prove me wrong)

And then the diversity??? 3/7 of the lead characters are POCs, 4/7 are queer, 3 have disabilities, 2 have addictions, 2 have PTSD, 2 are religious, one was raised in a cult, and it's not one of those books that has diverse characters just for the sake of being diverse!

The plot is so unique, especially among fantasy books, and despite the fact that there's so many moving parts, there is not a single plot hole. And the CK auction scene will forever be one of the best end of series climaxes I have ever read.

So basically I don't get why other authors even try anymore cause I'm sorry but no matter how great their books are, it's not going to be Six of Crows.

Just finished the raven king......I need to call my therapist now ✨
