not as good as i thought it would be tbh :( i actually forgot where i found the recommendation for this but it was on the same list that i originally discovered gideon the ninth on so my hopes may have been a little high. it wasn't like. BAD? but it didn't really have enough original twists to my taste. and every time i met a side character i knew there was like an eighty percent chance they were going to get killed off, to the point i stopped caring when they did. and i couldn't stand lila....she was too not-like-other-girls to my taste (though the scene where she picked a suit coat over a dress to wear to the fancy party did please my gnc little heart a bit). but rhy was fun at times and kell was gender envy if nothing more
