INSANE. At some point I kinda lost track of what was going on but decided ok whatever I’m just along for the ride…… and man was it quite a ride!! Alex: she ate and she ate and I’m obsessed with her. Darlington:
when they said he got eaten I was so distressed…. DEMON? WTF? ok sequel hook…. Ok me when im definitely reading the sequel…
. I thought the worldbuilding and magic was so fun (idk if that’s the right word with how dark everything was but still) even though there was just…. So much of it….. and at some point I just had to be like “what the hell sure”. I get why this is divisive because I both ate it up and also had to push myself through. Most importantly I think the reading slump is gone!! Yay!!!
