O tédio é a grande enfermidade da escola, o tédio corruptor que tanto se pode gerar da monotonia do trabalho como da ociosidade.

OK SO FAR THE BEST VOLUME.
it just opens so many theories and possibilities and explains many things about current characters.
while Aki’s death and killing rampage was devastatingly sad, it was a bit predictable because Aki is a predictable character and was meant to fulfill a specific role since his introduction. i’m obviously sad abt him bc he was one of my favorites BUT his death wasn’t in vain.
now i’m much much more interested and perplexed at Makima. what does she want? why is she disguised as a human? many thoughts and theories!!!!!
I read the entire thing during bio class while my friends were watching my reactions as I went 😔🤔😨😰😧😀🤯😭🫠🤓
100% the best volume. it felt like the author was saying, NOW the games begin. kind of like that scene in dn where light writes fake TV L’s name in the first few episodes
anyways
makima! i shall figure you out!!

shoutout to uncarley and emma chamberlain for making me read this masterpiece.
east of eden. what a fucking book, friends
once I finished reading the last line, my hands went to my face as I stared in shock at the back cover of the book. timshel. thou mayest.
if you are somehow reading this, all I can say is: please pick up this book. it is one of the most engaging, breathtaking, thought-provoking, and human stories I have ever read. the characters begin to feel like family and you'll constantly be asking that there were more than 600 pages to spend with them. I feel like a part of my heart will forever live in the Salinas valley, looking at the willow tree and smelling Lee's ng-ka-py from the Trask ranch. books like this make reading magic to me.
some notes to self (please skip these please)
- lee. I love lee. i could read about his thoughts forever and could talk about how good of a character he is for longer. i hope him and sam hamilton are both laughing and talking about fucking meditations by marcus aurelius in heaven now. bless him. he was the true mvp of the trask household and arguably of the entire plot
- cathy/kate. she is genuinely a scary character and just SO well written it's insane. shes literally the of gaslight gatekeep girlboss and honestly, for that alone steinback deserves all the praise he gets
- CALEB TRASK. CAL. I WANT TO HUG HIM SO BAD. i want to tell him that everything is okay and that i love him god i want to hug him. i wish him nothing but hapiness
- I wanted to visit dessie's sewing place so much... it seemed like so much fun... just imagine all the jokes and funny amazing women ..... oh god..
- charles!!! an underdog who honestly deserved better :/ him and cal would get along so well,, just imagine the uncle nephew bonding,,
- anyways. I am utterly, undeniably in love with this book and i shall forever keep thinking about it

well wasn’t that slightly disgusting to read.
they literally spent 1/3 of this volume talking about kissing and s*x and not in a good way
I’m glad (?) we got a little bit more of unhinged Denji and backstory on Himeno and Aki, but I don’t think that those compensate for the unnecessary sexual scenes

and honestly? I have no idea what to expect anymore
I’m finding the whole “monster” system a bit toooo convenient and simple sometimes. so far they are basically curses from jjk but dumber lmao
like really? endless labyrinth? monsters born from human tragedies? hatred towards humans because “they try to kill monsters”? a bit overused much?
the only interesting thing abt them as of rn is their naming thing, imo
anyhow now i must find these online or borrow the remaining volumes from my friend 👍 also got a sociology test tomorrow so . hopefully i do well on that
