i just finished reading

#ordered the other 3 books but they won't get here until wednesday #the raven boys #trc #lifireads

thinking about thg again this morning and particularly how sotr seems to imply the rebellion might have tried to sabotage the hunger games multiple times before katniss came along and thinking about how the first turning point was not exploding the arena or katniss being a badass with her bow and arrow or even defying the capitol with her berry trick but her love and compassion for rue, this little girl whom she 'owed' nothing who should have been her enemy, this little girl who deserved so much better

#as in violence alone will only get you so far #people need something to fight for too #thg #the hunger games #sotr #lifireads #i love analysing stories and thg just wants you to analyse and interpret the symbolism in every little detail

trying so hard to be normal about the raven cycle right now

#trc #the raven cycle #the raven boys #it will take another 2 days for the remaining 3 books to get here #i'm suffering #/going insane #lifireads #i can't even pace around my room like a madman because i injured my foot i can only hobble like rumpelstielschen #might have to fuck around and draw fanart

something i really love about trc so far is how important friendship seems to it like sure there's hints of romance here and there and i'm sure as i continue my read that will be built upon but the heart of this story seems to be fundamentally platonic love

i think i've figured out the secret formula to make me actually enjoy a story featuring some kind of romance and it's the story (the writer) has to be aware of gender roles, question, examine and if possible actively defy them

#howl's moving castle #as in #hmc book #the winternight trilogy #the wolf and the woodsman #some books that i do this imo #particularly the first two #it's been a while since ive read wolf and woodsman tbh but i do remember not hating the romance so #there's definitely more #even beauty and the beast as in the disney movie kind of does this?? at least the questioning part #mine #lifireads

me trying to explain trc to my aunt "it seems like basic heterosexual teen romance at first glance but it's actually about finding this strange, fucked up magical forest and-"

#she immediately yelled NO SPOILERS #do i convince my mid-40s aunt read this book series??#she seemed interested #the raven cycle #trc #lifireads #also no spoilers for me please i'm still reading!!!!

lowkey the volcano in sotr makes such a good metaphor too...

#sotr #sunrise on the reaping #sunrise on the reaping spoilers #sotr spoilers #give me a few days or hours to put this into proper words #lifireads

what intrigues me about the raven cycle is that the story gives so little detail and breezes (skips even!) over things other books would linger on and as a result reading it feels like free fall

#i still have got the raven king to read so no spoilers please #this is not a negative or a positive just an observation #it's such an interesting way of story telling #trc #the raven cycle #lifireads
