One of the seven, Pleiades and daughter of Atlas and Pleione. She bore several children with the god Poseidon. She was kidnapped when she was 8 and was tortured and starved and was threatened by the kidnapper to not speak about anything, or they'll kill the people she loves in front of her, so she completely stopped talking. And guess who turned out to be the kidnapper? the freaking nanny! 🤡 Mia doesn't know this yet, but she's playing a dangerous game. The more I'm tempted, the more drastic the reaction."

This wouldn't have hurt so much if I and my friends were not excited so much, we even had countdown for LandonMia to drop, literally feeling like laughing at myself. This book is literallt Combination of GOM, GOP, GOR. Can Rina stop mentioning these guys have social media and the comments everything, it's so cringe. I feel embarrassed while reading. Nonnus, Dionysiaca, Volume I: Books 1–15, translated by W. H. D. Rouse, Loeb Classical Library No. 344, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Harvard University Press, 1940 (revised 1984). ISBN 978-0-674-99379-2. Online version at Harvard University Press. Internet Archive (1940). His so-called obsession with Mia, from what perspective does it appear that he is obsessed? It appears to me that Rina was attempting to convince us that he is infatuated rather than displaying his obsession with her.

Aeschylus, translated in two volumes. 2. Libation Bearers by Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. Cambridge, Massachusetts. Harvard University Press. 1926. Online version at the Perseus Digital Library. Also, can I just say that Maya deserves better? Everyone hates her because she is girly and a bit mean. So? That is a bit sexist if you ask me. Since all the male characters are terrible and cruel but that's okay because they are male. Maya is hated because she likes dressing up. Right. Very nice to see that.

their conversations had no chemistry. they said nothing of value or interest. they had no substance. everything between them was embarrassingly underwhelming, my god. they both thought so highly of themselves when in reality, they’re probably Rina Kent’s WORST couple she’s ever written. you cannot convince me Landon loves her. there was truly nothing to indicate he loved her— the only person he loves is himself :/ As always , feel free to rant with me about my man Lan once you have read the book but please don’t ask me for spoilers before the book is out!! The college rivalry trope. Where? These people weren’t even studying, because when? Most importantly, Mia and Landon had completely different majors. where tf is the author who wrote books like gow, the deception trilogy & the my monster trilogy huh!????? Let's first discuss the fact that most of the theories concerning Mia and the reason for her selective mutism had something to do childhood trauma most likely kidnapping and we were right, but it goes beyond that which was I think the real twist.is son of Levi and and Astrid. He’s always been different from her siblings Glyndon and Brandon. Landon and Brandon are twins, they look identical except they aren’t. Brandon feels too much and Landon feels nothing. Landon doesn’t really have that many emotions, and takes pride in that. He’s definitely arrogant and his ego is as high as Mount Everest 😭 and this is when i could finally reflect on the pattern of RK’s misogyny in regards to how women treat each other in her books, especially women who are supposed to be “friends”. Maya knew. She knew who it was all along but never uttered a word because on the other end she was also being threatened to never expose the culprits. She kept it all to herself out of fear, but this of course broke Mia's heart, and she cannot believe what's happening. He's been getting some competition from a girl in the American university, but she's yet to push him off from his first spot"

This book legit made me cry because I felt so bad for Landon. As someone who doesn't feel like everyone does and doesn't express feelings like everyone does, this book hit hard. Eldest of the three Moirai, goddesses of fate and destiny (also known as The Fates). Atropos chose the mechanism of death and ended the life of each mortal by cutting their thread. My eyes grow wide behind my own mask and I pull her to the side before we cross the property’s gate. If you want to get into the Rina Kent universe, I’d say you should do it because of the characters and not the storylines. His chapters were so superficial too. He didn't change from the beginning except now he shows affection to Mia and occasionally his siblings. It's not like I was expecting a big character redemption arc for Landon, but I was expecting some depth, and we got so little. With Killian, we had his daddy issues. With Creigh we had his story about his birth parents (as much as I didn't like that storyline at least it gave his character something!!) And with Jeremy we had him opening up about his childhood. With Landon we got none of that. We had him opening up in one scene and the rest of his "growth" came from Brandon telling Mia the nice things he's done over the years. Landon could've been a shell and the story would've been the same. But anyway I could go on for hours about this.

Mia, externally: “im gonna slice you up in your sleep and curse your bloodline! your throat? i will slit it, then i will bathe in your blood while repeatedly punching you in the FACE!”

note: i truly believe my breaking point will be reached if RK screws up nikobran. the set up to their story is so perfectly laid out 😭 Overall this is my least favorite book in the series. A little plot, more Mia, and a lot less Landon might've been enough to save it. Alas we'll never know...Will be seated for nikobran having all four of them in a room (Landon, Niko, Jeremy and Killian) was like i was on acid, because why is the same person copy pasted four times having a conversation with himself pls ???? you can’t tell me they weren’t all in that cellar like People as a concept have only one merit—the ability to be used. Other than that, they’re a brainless, rotten species that I like to pretend I don’t belong to.”

Customer reviews

my first initial reaction to starting the book was just how physically difficult this was to read. Rina’s writing style here was so different— she attempted this high prose style, trying to echo Landon’s artistic talents and his psychotic tendencies, to make him sound highly intelligent and terrifying. we get a long ass monologue from his POV about the colour of Mia’s eyes. The writing is just as terrible as the previous books. It's so melodramatic and edgy. It ruins the book. Sea nymph, goddess of water and one of the fifty Nereids, daughters of the ancient sea god Nereus. Also a shapeshifter and a prophet. and the "plot twist" about the reason why Mia is a mute, I never laughed so much in my life. We need to thanks Mrs Pratt and to Rina for writing the most ridiculous scene. The fact that Kyle and Rai being part of the MAFIA, they have the connections/sources and still couldn't find her ✋🏼 Caldwell, p. 42 lines 226–232, with the meanings of the names (in parentheses), as given by Caldwell, p. 40 on lines 212–232.
