Anyway once I got over that perpetual grievance I was just like



Once I remembered who these characters were: I loved them!! I struggled with them!

Spoiler

I delighted when they all got their happy endings!! I stan Nina's new trans prince!!!! Yassss!!!

And of course....I loved that it's blatantly setting itself up for another spinoff series, which I will absolutely read, after reading a wiki summary to remind myself what happened in Rule of Wolves.
