Writing this review at 1am because I have THOUGHTS

1) sorry what was that pacing……. like the pace of that felt like being on a rollercoaster that got stuck halfway thru and just as you think it’s about to end, that thing plummets

2) felt like there was NO world building or anything like that? plot points and inner monologue felt very repetitive

3) the only chapters I actually ate up was the poppy scene but even then Lauren you coulda jazzed up the dialogue

4) also if you’re giving me a map and a whole family tree, I better be travelling the continent and meeting the family so tell me why we only did light sightseeing???

5) that ending???? make it make sense
