2.75

  • I'M STILL CONFUSED BY THE ENDING I DON'T GET IT AT ALL LIKE WHOSE HEAD ARE WE IN?? WHOS DEAD?? is the society even still a thing??
  • mmmm shldn't have been 6 POVs, would've made a lot more sense if they just stuck to libby/nico pov
  • nico/libby — lost opportunity for rivals to lovers, their banter was so nice. doesn't make much sense for nico to be into gideon ngl, since they described the gideon-nico relationship as nico being too scared to leave gideon behind since he's medically fragile (?? or was that max)
  • the plot left after the first action scene
  • talking abt action scenes, why did we only get one action scene????
  • shlve been more use of magic
  • magic system is underexplained/underdeveloped, i honestly did not understand the mind-hopping/plane travel/time-travel thing, it just flew over my head
  • the writing was nice,,,, but a bit pretentious at times
  • literally the only character i liked was nico. libby was tolerable if she was with nico
  • parisa sucks. is useless and annoying. ik her entire thing is femme fatale, but it gets annoying after she has a sex scene with everything that moves
  • also what was the point of the libby-tristan-parisa threesome scene
