#also theyll help me crush my friends soul. on goodreads.

[margueritegracq]

Godddd I LOVE the change on perspective of Ellington as you read atwq. Like she very much the "femme fatale" mysterious girl archetype (as much as someone who's like 15 can be a femme fatale) to the reader (because ofc we're seeing this through Lemony's perspective and L's gonna L) but then as we go along we have more and more holes poked in this picture L has built up of her until all the stuff we know about L almost comes crashing down in a way in the 4th book as we realize that LEMONY has been more mysterious more suspicious and altogether more "Ellington" than Ellington the whole time

#like HES the one with the mysterious past and strange connections and alterior motives and just UGH #like as his image of Ellington breaks down more and more as we learn more about her as we learn more about L and see the CHOICES he makes #the scale tips the other way #anyways ive been feeling the urge to reread atwq the past few days #esp since im taking a film study course and id love to reread it again keeping an eye for film noir inspirations and whatnot #also theyll help me crush my friends soul. on goodreads. #its gotten so competitive and out of hand etc. like im 8 books behind (started 2 months late) but im gonna kill her #she keeps threatening to unfriend me though 😭😭😭 bc i read mostly poetry classics adult fantasy and nonfiction whereas shes still #solidly into YA #blah #atwq #what was i saying again?
