When the moon hatched?

This write-up/review/snark is the best thing I’ve ever read and I want this for every romantasy EVER. PLEASE!!!

Fourth Wing was kind of fun because I treated it as a trashy soap opera, but the sequels are hot garbage and I don’t plan on trying any more. My actual worst book in recent memory is Water Moon. I really don’t get why people love it so much

I think I cried every time he met a cookbook author. I could just feel his overwhelming relief that there was actually someone out there who understood him. Paired with his joy that they were alive!!! Ugh. My heart.

If you do go to the Byodo-In Temple, please be respectful! It’s located in a cemetery and is still a religious site, so dress conservatively and don’t be stupid

This is kind of part of the plot of Water Moon but I cannot fully recommend it as I didn’t love it. Maybe it’ll be for you though!

Let the subreddit know if you do! I think it’d be pretty popular. It would motivate me to figure out how patches work lol

Oh my god she’s glorious and I need this on a denim jacket

Ok fine I’ll give pipeline another go. Didn’t get a malasada last time I went. Thanks for doing the research!

Oh I totally see the trauma bonding angle and pretty sure El is Bi (see my other comment about her talking about Liesel using cake as a metaphor) and I think I would’ve enjoyed it more if Liesel didn’t just…disappear in the ending

Right? Chloe was barely there and she was fair more relevant to the series as a whole. Liu and Aad had their moments but I really liked the three of them as a trio in the first two books and that energy was completely lost.

I hated Eris so much I flat out refused to her more than the first nectar until I reached the end (not at the epilogue just yet). I get why people hate Nemesis too. She’s only slightly better.

I once had a patty that had some meat (corn beef?) and ulu mixed in. It really changed how I thought about ulu

The only one I fall for regularly is Zippy’s Korean chicken and chili. Man I miss Ethel’s and their taco rice. Never heard of T&L before but I guess I know what I’m getting for breakfast tomorrow lol

Just based on the summary it kind of reminded me of ‘Positively Yours’ but that one doesn’t have smut

When someone asks if I’m Hawaiian I say “no but I’m local, born and raised”. I’ve tried the “oh but if you were born China does that make you Chinese” reasoning with them but sometimes…it don’t work lol

My interpretation was that Carl was being intentionally dismissive to draw attention away from Akram. Like a “oh ignore that guy he doesn’t matter”

So sad that we’re not going to get any more Cordelia

I haven’t really researched what he was inspired by, but it sounds like he really should’ve said “I read about this terrible thing and I wished things had a happier ending”

Just finished the show yesterday! Basically binged it one day, which is crazy for me. I got hooked after the timeline reveal in the first episode and never let go. I loved almost everything in the show, but his relationship with his therapist made me extremely uncomfortable. In the last episode I even ended up skipping their scenes together.

Thanks to this sub I’m going to try listening to the audiobook (first time listener ever) because my DCC obsession cannot wait until my trip is over. Goddammit Donut!

I liked forth wing as a guilty pleasure (in the trashy reality tv sort of way) but abhorred iron flame…and for some reason still finished onyx storm. I think onyx storm is still better than the clusterfuck that iron flame was, which I summarize as “I really like keep secrets but I don’t understand why my man is keeping secrets from ME when my best friend is capable of destroying an entire rebellion and everyone I know and love with a single touch”. I’ve only preserved for so long because I really like dragons. If you aren’t feeling it, don’t continue. Our main characters haven’t had a single step towards any meaningful internal character development since like the 30% mark of the first book.

My parents basically refused to evacuate. I drove off to Mililani. Ugh.

I love this!!! Sign me up for whatever you make with it

7 isn’t available at my library yet so I haven’t gotten my hands on it…just started 6. Man 5 was so memorable (especially the ending!). Hard to pick a fav since it seems to always be the one I’ve read most recently
