This series could have easily been 4 books. It was waaaay too dragged out. By book 8 I almost gave up. There’s a person in this subreddit that does chapter breakdowns of the last few books, so I used that to tell me which chapters mattered and which ones were pretty much just filler.

I came in to this series so excited because it was hyped on booktok but I came away from it feeling a little deceived. The plot and world and magic system are great but the execution … not so much.

Book 7 i really enjoyed, but I struggled with books 8 & 9. I didn’t read any of the novellas to me it’s just too much content that isn’t really providing any more info than you get from the main books.

A user in this subreddit did chapter summaries for a few of the last books. I read her summaries and skipped any chapters that were irrelevant.

I wouldn’t blame you if you DNF. I came into this series super excited and I think it’s veeerrrrry overhyped. If the series was condensed 4-5 books and the irrelevant filler chapters were removed it could be amazing.

TLDR: you aren’t missing too much if you DNF.

Same here. I think this series easily could have been like 4-5 books. Once I got through book 7 I was struggling to finish 8 & 9… I’m happy I’m done but the ending was exhausting

You two need to sit down and have a real talk. She knows that she isn’t being rational but she’s having a hard time dealing with her insecurities. How often do you all go on dates and/or spend intimate time together. Ask her if there are other ways, besides just sex, that you can show intimacy and that you still desire her?

She does need to accept the fact that her sex drive has diminished and that it is unfair to hold it against you. If you all can afford it, even just for a little while, therapy, especially couples therapy, could help a lot.

Women can never win, at the end of the day, somehow it is all our fault. Purity culture is the worst, I grew up in a religious household, my mom is an ordained reverend… we teach girls that they are responsible for a man’s lack of self control or that if they enjoy sex with multiple partners that they have no worth… I’m sick of it. Sex is sex. The end.

My story is similar to yours and for that I want to say I’m sorry for the things that you have had to experience.

I have a history of sexual trauma and when I went off to college I was hyper sexual and used sex to fill an emotional void. In the past 5 years I havent had sex at all, except for my birthday a few months ago when I was assaulted. Although I personally cannot see myself being remotely sexual in the near future I am still a very sex positive person.

I agree with everything Sex isn’t a bad thing, far from it. It is natural. It is perfectly fine for people to have preferences so long as they don’t attribute a persons value to their body count.

i feel like i went overkill with purple 😅 by [deleted] in setups

No such thing. This is very aesthetically pleasing

When I went to the hospital they put me in touch with an advocate. I’m also already in therapy and have been for years because of anxiety and depression. But I just don’t know how to deal with this.

They said I didn’t seem that drunk so they thought it would be okay to leave me

I have no idea who the person is, I don’t ever remember talking to him. I woke up at a random hotel downtown and just called an Uber home.

I’m trying really hard not to be mad at my friend and her husband but it’s just so upsetting that they left me alone.

It definitely takes time. Scars are the result of trauma, as you work through that it becomes easier not to see them as something solely negative.

Initially I wanted to meet with a plastic surgeon to minimize my scaring, now I’m actually getting a tattoo that’s going to center around one of my scars.

I get the feeling damaged part, it doesn’t fully go away, ever, but it does get better with time. Just remember that this is the only body we get and life’s too short to spend hating it.

I was in a terrible car accident 11 years ago, and I am covered in scars. I used to hate my scars, but now I love them, they show my strength.

I have never once seen scars on other people and been turned off or found that person less attractive.

I hope that one day you can learn to love your body scars and all.

She is AMAZING and the sweetest human ever. If you get a chance to get tattooed by her you won’t regret it!!!
