Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.
i may come back to this book, but i realized how much i was dreading picking this book back up after i read the first couple of chapters and thought i should just shelve it for now. i didn’t like the main character (you’re not meant to) but i have a hard time even empathizing with him. it’s a me problem, i know.

i like this book so much more than wings and ruin. it's a placeholder bridge book between wings and ruin and silver flames, but if you go in knowing that it isn't so bad. i've heard a lot of people are really down on this book for being plotless fluff but, honestly, i'm only reading these books because i got attached to the characters and this book gave me more of them sooo... i'm eager to read more about cassian and nesta in the next book.

i like tsukimi but the other girls are making this hard to continue. i plan to read further but i might have to skim though the scenes focusing on mayaya at least.

you can feel the age of this book. the gender stuff is a little… it’s messy. i mostly read this as a means to study old manga and, on that front, i’m glad i read it - but this book is long and i considered dropping it more than once because of wishy-washy plotting. it’s fun if you’re a fan of older comics and cartoons (the drawings have that particular flavor that the original disney animations had), but i wouldn’t pick this up if i weren’t interested in looking into old comics.
