The official synopsis:

“Fate does not choose the weak. Fate chooses the ready.

Calliope Rosewood is a witch with a long streak of bad luck. Like all witches in Illustros, her fate is directly tied to Witch's Dice--powerful artifacts that have blessed her kind with limitless magic but also set them on a path toward destruction. Cursed with unspeakable powers that terrify even the most dangerous witches and fae, Calla deserted her coven four years ago and has been in hiding with her two best friends since. But Calla is also hiding a grave secret: She is only three Rolls away from becoming the last Blood Warrior and starting the Fates' War that will decimate her people and eradicate their magic.

After a betrayal from her ex leads her one step closer to fulfilling that age-old prophecy, Calla is desperate to do whatever it takes to reset her fate . . . even if that means journeying into the deadly Neverending Forest with said ex and his enigmatic older brother to find the one being who can help her forge her own path. As Calla ventures farther into the enchanted woods, she finds her heart torn between her past desires and alluring new possibilities. But she soon learns that choosing your own destiny may come with dire consequences.

Featuring a charming ensemble cast of characters, this first book in a planned series by debut author Kaylie Smith will sweep readers away with its utterly immersive world building, swoon-worthy romance, and action-packed storytelling.”

me online: haha ronsey is so funny the jokes abt ronan being his dog "they went and got some orange juice" how sweet lol teenagers

my brain, constantly: "while i'm gone dream me the world" "he couldn't say it, there were a thousand reasons why he couldn't say it" "this was home: henrietta, the pig, ronan" "twice ronan got a phone call from his ganseyfriend [...] both times after this ronan went and lay down [...] and cried a little without making any sound" "not tonight, please don't let it be tonight" "i remember when you used to smell like this" "ronan had loved richard c. gansey iii far more than he loved himself at that point" [the only time ronan cried in all 4 books is when he thought gansey had died] "it was his smile that buried ronan" "i'll be sitting right here, waiting to go where you tell me" "i've dreamt him a box of epipens. i dream cures for stings all the time. i carry one. i put them in the pig. i have them all over monmouth." "why do you drive out here to dream? / sometimes i dream of wasps." "this would hurt him more than that" "it was on its knees in the rye grass and the creeper, and he saved it" "the pain in ronan's voice meant he couldn't have any in his" "tell me i'm doing the right thing with ronan. tell me i'm not ruining him" "you promised me / i know what i did"

When Oscar Wilde wrote “There seemed to be something tragic in a friendship so coloured by romance.” He meant James and Oliver friendship/relationship, I mean when Oliver saw those bruise marks on James he was like 'I wanted to give Richard ten bruises for every one he’d put on James, and when James showed up at his house unannounced he called Meredith to say 'I had no idea he was coming, but I can’t just leave him here. I don’t think New York is going to happen' and when James broke his nose, the first thing Oliver said was 'I want to forgive you' and threw a harmless paperback book at his knee to get even, and when James was crazy drunk and reciting Shakespeare in madness, Oliver said reassuringly 'You can tell me. Even if it’s bad, even if it’s really bad. We’ll find a way to fix it', and when James confessed to killing Richard, Oliver only comforted him by saying '“It’s okay," ... "It'll be okay" ' and when Colborne came to arrest James, Oliver took the blame and went to jail, and when James asked 'Why?' Oliver answered 'You know why'.

no one asked but here’s my opinions on jameson vs grayson

i love grayson, he’s my best friend, but i don’t think he and avery would be a good romantic fit. he is so consumed by his need to rectify what he blames himself for with emily and he sees avery as a surrogate for that. if he can protect her and love her, it’ll fix everything that he believes happened. i think they’re better off as friends because grayson needs to process his trauma and separate avery from emily and understand that he doesn’t have to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders

and avery (as seen at the end of book 2) needs to go through her own self discovery arc where she stops seeing herself as a tool and takes charge of her own choices. she’s been ridiculed and scared for her life and she’s at a point where she needs to step out from behind the boys and finish the game for herself and not for them

i think jameson saw her as a puzzle piece in the first book but now he’s gotten past himself and realized that avery is in the game just as much as he is and he sees her as a partner rather than someone to protect or use. he respects her and trusts her and cares about her enough to put her before the hunt even while she thinks he’s playing an angle and he’s the kind of person who could help avery process her own disbelief in love because he’s ready and capable of showing her an “encompassing love” like the kind she didn’t believe in

just finished the inheritance games and i still can’t choose between gray-eyed grayson of grayness and his counterpart the adrenaline junkie who likes to spew proverbs and riddles like he’s a troll living under a bridge

[riddles-upon-riddles]

It's so funny how the description of the  Hawthorne brothers in the synopsis is all like "dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys" and then all we get is:

A cowboy with a saviour complex and commitment issues

A pretentious businessman with a past as a toddler nudist

A wannabe philosopher, running around drunk and shirtless half of the time

A robot-building, scone-eating cinnamon roll

LISTEN TO “WONDERLAND” BY TAYLOR SWIFT AND TELL ME THAT THIS SONG ISN’T ABOUT JAMESON AND AVERY

Lyrics:

Flashing lights and we Took a wrong turn and we Fell down a rabbit hole You held on tight to me Cause nothing's as it seems And spinning out of control

Didn't they tell us don't rush into things? Didn't you flash your green eyes at me? Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds? Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting? I felt your arms twisting around me I should've slept with one eye open at night

We found Wonderland You and I got lost in it And we pretended it could last forever

So we went on our way Too in love to think straight All alone, or so it seemed But there were strangers watching And whispers turned to talking And talking turned to screams, oh

Didn't they tell us don't rush into things? Didn't you flash your green eyes at me? Didn't you calm my fears with a Cheshire Cat smile? Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting? I felt your arms twisting around me It's all fun and games 'til somebody loses their mind

I reached for you But you were gone I knew I had to go back home You search the world for something else To make you feel like what we had And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad

(excerpts from the song)

could be a reach but I think its scary accurate
