“You saw yourself as an unholy triptych, three into one, one into three: she the girl, you the Devil, I the Saint. And you understood, finally, that there had never truly been a she or a you but only a terrible, lonely I.”

Inspired by the awesome short story The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E. Harrow

GO READ THE SIX DEATHS OF THE SAINT BY ALIX E HARROW. IT FEELS LIKE LISTENING FOR THE FIRST TIME TO AN ALBUM BY THE AMAZING DEVIL OR FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE. ITS SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD. AND ITS ONLY 30 PAGES LONG BTW.

And you found you did not mind being a devil, so long as you were his.

THE SIX DEATHS OF THE SAINT by Alix E. Harrow

But you rose, as you always did, and you looked into the pool, as you always did. You saw yourself as a sickly child, and you understood once again who you were, and would be, and are now: a woman following her own footprints, a snake eating her own tail, forever.

Apart from the full length novels, special mention to the two short stories by Alix E. Harrow and Tamsyn Muir that were mind-blowing!

The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E. Barrow

“I wonder what the songs will say about the Devil now that she is covered in the blood of her own God.”

[thethornofcamorr]

“‘I could have killed you,’ you said, and he had answered, obscurely, ‘you never do.’”

/

“‘I could have killed you,’ you said. ‘You never would,’ he said.”

If anyone ever wants to read the short story that Tamsyn wrote for the mystery anthology, alongside the one that Alix E. Harrow wrote. 

I can hook you up.

My take on a cover for this. Read it the other week, very good 👍

April Wrap Up ✨

I have my iPad back, I can get back to books I really really really wanted to read, but I had a hard time picking up some books bc I was too focused on fanfics (I blame Ben Barnes). As always, spoiler alert just in case.

1. Circe - 5/5

LISTEN I AM A CHANGED WOMAN. I HAVE NEVER FELT THE FEELINGS I FELT IN THIS BOOK. My heart broke and restored at the same time, I was sadly happy, happily sad. Like... I felt my heart physically rip with the last chapter. Madeline Miller is already the owner of my wallet, I will pre-order everything she writes and I will cry when the time is right. I think I liked this more than The Song of Achilles...

2. As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow - 5/5

I was halfway through the book and I cried 4 times... FOUR TIMES AND THE BOOK WASN'T OVER. The plottwist made it a 5 star immediately. I remember thinking "this better not happen" and BAM! my world changed. The romance was just so innocent and beautiful, and then you had the most terrible things happen 2 lines later and you came back to reality. It makes you think of the world and what really matters. And the book is so hopeful. I love it.

3. The Six Deaths of the Saint - 4/5

The only reason it is not a 5 star is because I NEEDED MORE. Bro this was so beautifully written. I usually can't stand 2nd person POVs, but in this book it had a purpose that left me SHOOK. The way the violence and war was written here was beautiful. I need more.

4. The Year of the Witching - 4/5

A friend told me to read it. I loved it. I was shooketh by it, and I want more. Bring Lilith to ANY book and I will read it. Ezra is literally the bestest man I have ever read?? Let me marry him?? I was kind of expecting a non-happy ending, but then we wouldn't have a sequel. ALSO *spoiler* I would have let everyone die and join the witches with the condition that Ezra stayed alive.

5. The Midnight Library - 3.5/5

Ngl, I read this because of BTS, but last time I did that I found one of my favourite books so I had to read it. It made me understand the song Zero O'clock better. As for the book itself, it has an interesting concept, but it made me have mini existential crisis? Which I didn't like?? It did feel like a help book but I was not the target audience for it, it was good, but it is not the way I see life.

Just read a short story that changed my entire view of myself and the world, and I’m supposed to just??? Keep living my life!?!
