I will say I am a bit disappointed with 1. The deaths 2. The “resolution” with the bad guy.
Let me explain. 1. I hate deaths. I know it’s for a “reason” but I just think it’s over done and trite to kill side but important characters for the sake of provoking emotions. There’s a difference between making me cry and wanting me to cry, ya know? And I just felt that killing **** was like wow so not needed and then poor **** too was just like oh ok you want us to be upset and their death was so quick and almost random really.
2. I get that the antagonist is misunderstood but why does he become “subdued” with some words when he’s been ignoring Lia for three books already? I just wish there was more convo in the other books that connected with the final words of how she talked to him. There was SOME reference, but idk I was a bit sad with it. HOWEVER I did love the mercy point even if it was in the nose lol
