This book was more tolerable than the previous one. There was a lot less of the "treating the FMC like a child" trope, though there was still some, don't get me wrong.

Also, the gen-z humour that Sadie seems to have now, while funny at some times (she's a lot better in this book than the last), was very cringe at some points. Like why the fuck was this bitch telling everyone to get some therapy? That's weird.

AND WHY DOES SHE KEEP SAYING STUFF OUT LOUD ACCIDENTLY. DOES SHE NOT KNOW HOW TO SPEAK? This bitch is 20, I'm 16 and even I know when some things should not be said aloud. Even so, when I say stuff I KNOW THAT I SAY IT! How is she so stupid??

Also, Xerxes is amazing. So he gets a whole star.

The other star is dedicated to a) the world premise and idea, and b) Sadie being slightly less shitty this boook.
