Thank you ☺️

Thank you ^_^ 💜

I can’t tell if this is a sign of an advanced society because women are allowed to do this, or if it’s sexist because only women are forced into it…

Ch 2 Pt 6

These allusions the characters make to things that then is ignored is doing my head in. I hope it’s because it’s explained later, as an ‘aaaah’ moment, otherwise I’m going to be so annoyed!

Ch 2 Pt 6

#theliesoflockelamora #readingcommunity #booksky

I’m still with ch 2 (chapters are very long with all these parts) and 17% of the book and I still don’t know where it’s going.

Still, when I start reading it, it’s like stepping out into the sun…

Ch 2 Pt 4

At some point the pov changed from SZ to XC and I missed it and I was so confused… had to go back and check where it went wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️

28 DAYS????? Whole zombie apocalypses have come and gone in that time!!!

PS: If you want to read the infamous bite scene, Book 1 is waiting for you. Link in bio.

It's the spark that sets their entire dynamic on fire. He had already noticed her, but her defiance really lit the spark of his interest.

So, what's a book scene that lives rent-free in your head because of a single, perfectly defiant act?

4/4

#fantasyromance #whychoose

Biting felt visceral, and personal.

In the first draft, there was no tearing of skin, but the exchange of blood and pain felt quite an intimate connection, and that 'inspection' turned the public spectacle into a one on one confrontation.

3/4

#fantasyromance #whychoose

In that scene, Elyn asserts dominance but she's also reclaiming agency.

She's been stripped from her home, treated like livestock, and is facing almost certain death. Biting Ja'al was barely a risk: a final, violent act of self before she met her end.

2/4

Ah, at last we learn more about the Biansha horsemen!

Ch 127

#balladofswordandwine #qjj #danmei #shenzechuan #xiaochiye

Are we going to find out more about SZ’s mother now?

Ji Gang just pulled the superhero move, lol

Ch 125

#balladofswordandwine #qjj #danmei #shenzechuan #xiaochiye

I’m not sure at this point what the end goal is. What’s the perfect ending we’re meant to hope for other than SZ an XC ending together?
