Mark Reads ‘The Demon’s Surrender’: Part II

H E L P I READ THE THING AND I AM STILL NOT OKAY.

Hello, friends! As promised, I wasn’t going to go two million years without another update, and now my heart hurts. Because I read the thing. Which… lord, y’all, I know it’s painful and devastating, but can I heap praise on Sarah Rees Brennan for a second? She had to write a trilogy to convey just how irreversible and terrible it is to be possessed, and we had to believe it enough to the point to understand why the reveal at the end of chapter 13 is such a big deal. It’s why the events in chapter 6 are so scary as well.

I’m somewhat happy that I have to take another break due to next week’s LeakyCon in Portland (YOU SHOULD COME HANG OUT WITH ME) because… fuck. This gutted me. This knocked the wind out of me. And I kind of don’t want to read the next chapter because it’ll be more of Sin crying, and I cannot deal with this. I can’t. But I’ll resume reading it once I’m done LeakyCon-ing! HELP.

Here are the videos below. Warning: I kind of have an emotional breakdown in chapter 6 and then a really big one in chapter 13??? LIKE HOLY SHIT I AM UPSET. Just saying in case you don’t want to see me freak out. ONWARDS.
