      Mood tho. I've been wanting to read more heartbreaking books but they've all disappointed me. I don't get that sad when reading a book, not gonna lie, rarely I cry. I tear up the most. But right now I'm reading the count of Monte Cristo (bless me) and MY HEART!!!!!

      I honestly didn't cry at TSOA, is it just me? Like the book was good but it didn't leave me breathless when I read it. In fact, I somehow got annoyed at the fact that Patroclus still wanted to stay with Achilles after his personality became so shitty. However, it's been now 1-2 month/s and I feel like rereading it again because somehow it's stuck in my head 😂 I've a feeling that TSOA might be more emotional to me after I read it for a second time

    A monster calls is so sad and raw and hurtful in the best possible way. And the way the story came about too 😢And you're so right, the adaption is perfection?

    Another moment that REALLY made me heartbroken, as a disabled person/decent human being (those (Spoilers for Crooked Kingdom) is NO ONE HARMS WYLAN LIKE HIS FATHER DID!!!!!!!!!
    The boy was treated like garbage by his father, had two murder attempts made on his life, thought his mom was dead, only to learn that she was still alive, while disguised as someone else?
    I'm fairly certain that it is agreed upon that Wylan had the worst backstory amongst the crows.

Once I started reading I could not put it down, it was so good! I was an emotional mess the entire time I read this book. Unfortunately I reached the juicy parts while I was at school in between different standardized tests. So the entire day I am just holding back tears while trying to finish my tests as quickly as possible so I could get back the books. I will forever and always love this book so much, for sure a 5 stars!
