Masquerade

O.O. Sangoyomi

DID NOT FINISH: 11%

dnf at 11%. i have read too many amazing nigerian fantasy and scifi books to spend time on one that isn't grabbing my attention from the start. it's 2025 and i need to start dnf'ing sooner when i'm bored or not vibing with the book. also really frustrated at the way sangoyomi writes the passage of time. events are described with no clear mention of time passing until pages later or even a chapter later when it's mentioned a week or more has passed during or before those events.

469 pages of loving mina-o'clock. genuinely cannot stress how full of women-loving this book is. the gothic horror takes a secondary seat to the overarching narrative of the power of love and trust between dear friends. also worth mentioning that bram stoker, a man in 1897, managed to write complex, three dimensional, fulfilled female characters in a way that some modern "feminist" authors still fail to.

this one didn't make as much plot progress as the previous volumes. we sorta spent the whole thing circling around a single plot point with a few character intros and deaths. but still really fun!

GODDDDDDD the pacing is just so good and i can't get over how well everyone is characterized. also just incredibly refreshing that the human girl is older than the vampire boy (though we may get a plot twister later idk).

incredible news this just rewrote my brain chemistry. to be made for an eternal war, locked in ceaseless battle. your only purpose by design and holy decree is nothing more than each other. when you win, what's left if she's gone? oh these lesbians are everything.
