The Demon's Lexicon: Squee post the First

[altogetherisi]

Believe me, there will be many.

This is the incoherent, and thus spoiler free one. I imagine there will be at least one that is more coherent without spoilers and at least one with muchly spoilers, when we are allowed to do such things. Fellow fish, is there actually a date people agreed that we are allowed? Have I imagined that we aren't meant to? Whatever, that isn't this post. This post is the one where I say

OH.

MY.

GOD.



IT'S FREAKING AMAZING.

Literally. I am amazed. I am stunned. I am dazzled. I am enchanted. I am addicted.

When I say all I've done since Monday is read it, and then read it again, and then read it some more, I am not kidding. You guys, just

EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words are, quite literally, failing me. But, Sarah so so so did not fail. At alll. In any sense.

It is VERY HIGH QUALITY WIN. Brilliant, marvelous, gorgeous.

I've said for a while now that I wanted to marry the Finnish cover of this book, and I do, but now I can say that, not judging the book by its cover guys, I really love this book frantically, desperately, deeply. I don't think there was one single thing I didn't like. I read ever single word in the correct order, and I adored each and every one and the simply superb whole they formed. Genuinely, I can't think of anything, any character, any plot point, that I didn't like. Seriously good.

Fish, our fandom is gonna to rock so so much.

And, just for the record, I would like to say that I did see the big twist everyone has talked about coming. I don't think it reduced its sheer emotional impact any, though I suppose technically I couldn't know that. It was like knowing it was coming, I could feel it coming, and I kept wanting not to be right, but I was and just oh. The pain and the beauty.

God, I love Sarah so much.

I carry it around the house with me. I sleep with it next to me. I CAN'T STOP READING IT.

I keep saying I'm meant to be revising, but seriously, since I bought this book on Monday, I've done maybe two hours of revision. Which is ridiculous, and foolish; I'm going to fail all my exams and never make anything of myself and I'm going to spend the rest of my life (and any benefits money) on books, Sarah's books, this book in particular, and I DON'T CARE, its a totally valid lifestyle choice you guys, ok?!

Ack, I'm meant to be going to see Star Trek again later, but I have no idea which squeefest will hold my attention. I just.

So, so good.

There just AREN'T words are there?! I thought I saw it coming and then was right but then I was surprised by the twist...if that makes any sense? Trying to stay spoiler free! BASICALLY I didn't see it coming and squealed and flailed and shrieked. But even if I had seen it I would still love it. And still be reading and re-reading it. And as soon as we can be spoiler-y I am going to write my favourite lines EVERYWHERE because they are so, so wonderful and must be shared with the world!

And I have to go to work all the rest of the week and next week I have to go to Exeter (which I am lamely more excited about now even though I go there lots. But now it's WHERE NICK LIVED!) and will not be able to read it during that time. Which is tragic because all I want to do is read it.

I too loved everything. Everything. Never has a book been more worth hype and excitement - as pure and as deep and as abiding as my love is for Harry Potter, I feel like Sarah's blown J.K. out of the water. Certainly for the debut novel - Philospher's Stone vs. Demon's Lexicon? The latter EVERY TIME!
