Anyway, I started this book today and finished it today and couldn’t not talk about it. It hurt to see how helpless he felt when his little brother was taken into the room and he couldn’t do anything about it. That is something personal to me and I don’t think it’s something that makes the book any worse or better. If you don’t own a physical copy of Blankets, or want to treat yourself to brand new copy to annotate and highlight, treat yourself by ordering it here (free international shipping).

It’s 2.14 AM and I’m beginning to write this after spending the past 2 days of my life isolated from the world and everyone I care about or any other hobby I have to finish this masterpiece of a book. The romance scenes, or as Whitney from WhittyNovels on Youtube refers to them as “fae porn”, were so beautiful and playful, and I love how Sarah’s writing advanced from writing very shallow romantic scenes (in Crown of Midnight, for instance) to such detailed moments of deep love and lust in ACOWAR. Everything is honestly beyond me, and I WEPT LIKE A BABY in exactly one scene nearing the last quarter of the book when the Suriel died, but surprisingly didn’t cry for the rest of the book. I was SHOOKETH though, ESPECIALLY when Mariyam and Drakon’s army came along with HER FATHER’S ARMY IN THE SHIPS WITH HIS DAUGHTER’S NAMES ON IT AND CHOSE

he’s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd – whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself – Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined. He has an idea of everything going on around him and is intelligent, handles his emotions in the way he knows best and he tries to be as supportive and as present as possible when it comes to his mother’s illness. All the stories were honestly beautiful and they added so much perspective that even I, an eighteen-year-old “adult”, never thought of before, and it just really is a story that tugs on all your emotions.

Today I’m here to talk about the sequel in the Kitty Hawk series. My review of the first book is right here
