This book was the definition of creative writing running amuck. Did it drive me insane? Yes. Am I going to keep reading? Also yes. I gotta see how the baddie becomes the love interest.
I just hope the author reins in the metaphors and ridiculous turns of phrase and just tells the story. I'm fully convinced that the FMC is actually insane because of the way her mind works.
I also graduated from college and became branch manager of my library. It's been a busy year.
Loyalty (Drexian Academy, book 2)
"Were you trying to destroy my bedchamber, human?"
"Most recently, I was trying to destroy your head."

"I bade you watch her."
"This one did, magus."
"So, you watched as she tore my bedchamber apart?"
"This one's duty was to watch. This one was not told to intervene."
Ma'am. I did not come here to cry. Spoiler alert: I did.
