    Summary

    "Tomorrow is broken. Tomorrow is nowhere."

    A year has passed since the Phantom Thieves struck down a god and saved Tokyo from a terrible fate. But when people all over the globe begin to suffer from "Paranoia Syndrome," mysterious seizures which leave them contorted and unconscious, Akira Kurusu finds himself in the Velvet Room once more, demanding answers for the affliction. His investigation leads him to the Dead Sea, the rotted remnants of the cognitive world, where all things go to be forgotten - including someone the Thieves had thought to be long gone.

    Meanwhile, Akira's comatose body is found in the waking world, and his terrified friends suspect the worst. Akira's confidants struggle to learn the truth behind Paranoia Syndrome, while he and Goro Akechi approach a fated confrontation in the decaying shell of the cognitive Tokyo. As the sickness continues to spread, the Phantom Thieves must reunite and destroy the evil festering beneath the Dead Sea's waters, before its malignant influence unravels civilization forever.

    Summary

    Felix knows that it was necessary to place Byleth next to Dimitri as much as possible. It’s good to have the political and religious leaders of Fódlan beside each other as a united front, just like during the war.

    It doesn’t mean he has to like it.

    He doesn’t at all like sitting in silence next to the boar while he keeps leaning over to speak to Byleth, or that Byleth, of all people, keeps making the boar laugh.

    When the Archbishop visits the kingdom capital, Felix is forced to confront feelings for Dimitri he has spent years harbouring in silence. However, admitting those feelings is only the beginning in a steep path that will lead him back to Dimitri, unless the secrets they keep unspoken drive Felix away from him for good. After all, to love is to be vulnerable, but when somebody has been forged by loss and duty, how do you learn to peel away the armour that keeps them safe?

    Summary

    Laurent had come to Marlas a bright and innocent youth caught up in his brother's excitement, in the romance of battle and the righteousness of their cause. He left the battlefield alone, a stranger to himself, ready to be reshaped into a creature of someone else's design. Time and trauma cut him farther from himself, from the ability to do anything but play the losing game he found himself caught up in.

    This is an attempt to examine the first novel from Laurent's POV.

    Summary

    Zagreus pushes him onto his back on the grass, killing more of it. Behind him, his feet melt more snow. The sounds of blades of grass snapping and snow melting and their bodies shifting fills the air and through it, Zagreus whispers, “I don’t like when you’re quiet for so long.”

    Thanatos’s hair falls from his forehead. On his back, he looks smaller, less formidable, more like the image of him Zagreus holds in his mind and in his heart. “I told you once before not to take my silence the wrong way… and yet you still try to misinterpret me. Your mind is like a maze. Your thoughts run into each other.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    nbd just the most achingly beautiful portrayal of thanatos and zagreus I ever read, and of loving a person just the way they are while also communicating what you need from them although it is contrary to their nature, and how trying/learning to give smth that isn't intrinsic to you for the sake of your love doesn't need to be painful or scary

    Summary

    “Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”

    “I think so,” Sizhui says.

    “To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.

    “Yes,” Sizhui says.

    “So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”

    Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.

    (Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)

    “They linger there in the thrill of the quiet, that ineffable space between an echo and its answer, where a single word could change a hundred futures, but in their minds, there is only the present—a vast, improbable, undifferentiated now.”

    Summary

    "The happiness and warmth that spread in Hai Yunfan’s chest made his knees weak when he received Wang Lu’s origami message.

    He held his breath while listening to the inviting words an intimate voice of Wang Lu whispered to him. A wave of unfamiliar feelings hit him. A smile that surfaced on his face was completely different from ever before, surprising Hai Yunfan himself. Of course, Wang Lu calling out for him made him happy every time, but this time it felt different. It almost felt private."
