My Book Girlfriends: a Semi-Comprehensive List

❧ Nina Zenik (Six of Crows)

I'd give up my firstborn to eat waffles with her. But honestly, who wouldn't?

❧ Inej Ghafa (Six of Crows)

She could murder me with those knives and I'd say thank you.

❧ Delilah Bard (A Darker Shade of Magic)

She's a badass, and she knows it.

❧ Gideon Nav (Gideon the Ninth)

If you haven't read Gideon the Ninth yet, what are you doing with your life? Just look at how hot the main character is. That should be enough inspiration to start it.

❧ Fang Runin (The Poppy War)

She's ruthless, violent, and not entirely sane, but I love her nonetheless.

❧ Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice)

She was my gay awakening. Specifically, the version of her character played by Kiera Knightley in 2005.

❧ Vin (Mistborn)

I don't know if I want to be her or be with her.

❧ Ead Duryan (The Priory of the Orange Tree)

Credit: @/romans-art

She's strong, loyal, brave, intelligent, perfect... and most importantly, she has amazing fanart.

❧ Adelina Amouteru (The Young Elites)

I'm a slut for cruel female protagonists with tragic pasts, and that's exactly what Adelina is.

In conclusion...I have questionable taste. If I were to meet most of the characters on this list, I would end up dead.

Currently reading..I tried taking notes while reading for the first time. Here they are ..

The book has elements of war set in brutal tones, the writing style offers raw glimpses of what happens to a nation like nikara constantly at war; crumbling economy, failed unification of the country front and also what I think is an important part of culture, faith in higher power, people do not believe in gods here ..but if I think like them? I see why they won't, nikara has been at war for ages, people do not care about anything but putting their next meal on plates. The poppy war manages to make war strategies interesting, because a person like me easily doses off when war planning are going on.

"War is a nightmare" says rin.

Okay, quite a contrast to the prince of thorns book by mark Lawrence. The protagonist, Jorg ancarth says something like 'war is beautiful, those who say otherwise are on the losing side' now he was a rueful 15 year old boy hinged on vengeance for his family. But rin is a war orphan herself, we get to see a very different and real take on violence. She wants to defend her city, but we see her scared of dying and doubting her abilities.

What a power movvveeee. Jiang's a dramatic bitch, try to convince me otherwise. I love him *puppy eyes*

Okay, rin is fighting with the cike, or the thirteenth division or the empress's assains or the freak squad or the bizzare children, they have a lot of names. Point is they are fighting ot steep odds against the mughen soldiers. She just choked Down Poppy seeds to call on the phoenix god, poppy seeds also cause hallucinating effects. The cike commander, atlan is brilliant strategist, even at bad odds they seem to be crushing the enemies. Rin says "it was uter carnage. It was beautiful" referencing to the sight of the enemy shipments going up in flames and soldiers dying. The last point I took, when she was afraid and scared of the upcomimg war at the academy's gate and how it wasnt what it said in the legends has changed and taken a complete180 or is the poppy seeds speaking

gut wrenching.

Rin's character dynamic changes over the progression of war against the federation. As a soldier of the cike, she finds herself constantly torn between what, her master jaing taught her and what the commander expects of her. Jiang's lessons on how to talk with gods was to show her what she had to stay away from. He asked her to not fall into the lure of phoenix's power because it always comes with a cost. Altan, her commander wants her to learn to control her power at will and call on the phoenix whenever she wants. She fears she'll loose herself to the madness but when she sees the degree of brutality and cruel ways, federation soldiers inflicted upon the people, unarmed people ..she finds herself drawn yet again the the fire of phoenix. She will condemn the world to chaos as long as her enemies suffer. The horrors of war depicted in the book are nerve chilling, Brutal and raw.
