Excuseee meee? 😭😭😭



I was promised Howl's moving castle x polish folklore. Not Howl's moving castle x polish folklore x EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 😤

Like... I was supposed to read sth cozy. Funny. Not making me weep in the middle of the night. Like... I did not agree to sth like that.

I mean I was like: shut up and take my money (and I still stand by that: shut up and take my money and give me collectors edition or sth). And not like: shut up and take my heart and break it into thousands of pieces. There is a difference between those two for ducks sake (but I can give u my kidney for special edition... just saying... I've got 2...)

***
Anyways. Moth Mariusz made my day. Leszy Eliasz killed me. Father Paweł made me cry (bc I can only see one particular Mr Paweł and his: przemyślcie to sobie...like XD just kill me already) (+ why not father Mateusz? It would be perfect 😭)
And idk if I finished this book or it finished me (but I kinda thing that it's the latter)

1.0% "Not the: 'father Paweł' 😭
1. zmarnowany potencjał bo powinien być father Mateusz, żeby to miało sens
2. pls not Paweł, bc I can only imagine bardzo konkretnego pana Paweła and it's literally traumatizing 💀"

2.0% "lord save me 💀
to się wydaje zacnie napisane ale ja mam zwalone poczucie humoru

Wioletta I never preordered a book THIS FAST😍


A Amy SAME! Was not expecting the emotional damage this book was going to do to me. Sobbing.


Marty I started it because it was supposed to be cozy and cute...I did not sign up for crying for a massive hour, but I would do it all again!

Ali O’Daniel I woke my husband up because I was sobbing into my pillow. I cannot wait to reread this one!


elle ☾ Literally bawling to the point where I have a pounding headache, a soaked shirt and snot all over lol. Absolutely gutted by this beautiful story.


Malaak ✨✨ I read this review before reading the book, and I WAS STILL NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT HAPPENED! I'm sooo saddd


Anna Swartzendruber THANK YOU! My whole day is tinged in sadness and gloom after finishing this last night. I am so not ok!


Layla no bc why am i here at 3 am abt to cry bc of this book like I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS GONNA BE SAD????? ideKNOW how to feel abt the ending like wdym her hand doesnt pass thru the stag WHAT DO YOU MEANNNN!?!?!??!! ugh so good


Leslie Pickering No LITERALLY the book was so amazing and wonderfully written but the ending to this was so heartbreaking. Was bawling my eyes out for the rest of the book


message 10: by Dora (new) - rated it 4 stars

Dora Surin 4 am and i was crying my eyes out� they deserved so much better� hit me a bit like a Celaena x Sam situation😥 in my mind the ending means the Driada was maybe in secret healing Eliasz� body and when it finally recovered he was given back to Liska as a “gift� to say thank you for saving the forest hence his soul started to materialise and her hand finally didn’t just pass through him, she could finally feel him! One can only hope😥
