apesar de um começo instigante e várias cenas de tensão, a história peca bastante ao utilizar esteriótipos, trazer uma escrita sem sal e depender de coincidências múltiplas para o enredo. tudo dá certo para o protagonista. ele não usa da inteligência para encobrir seus crimes e, sim, da sorte. quando parece que ele finalmente vai pagar por seus inúmeros crimes, a única pessoa que poderia acusá-lo acorda sem memória. isso, depois de várias outras situações convenientes, não tem a força que poderia ter.
ainda assim, o final é maligno, como já é típico do autor, pior que o pior pesadelo de uma mulher.

this book is a beautiful exploration of grief. i felt so much for Marin. yet, i couldn’t connect to the story as much as i thought i would, especially as someone who also had a close, paternal relationship with her grandfather. it’s a lovely story though.
i fear we have a case of middle book syndrome.
it was a fast read, and the narration of the audiobook was great, but the plot was an absolutely snooze fest. i’ve literally just finished reading and already can’t remember anything that happened before the final battle.
also, it’s becoming quite clear that the author takes a lot of inspiration from sarah j. maas and, as i dislike SJM’s books, we might have a problem.

eu previ o que ia acontecer nas primeiras páginas, mas, ainda assim, o desenrolar da história é delicioso. a autora consegue abordar vários temas importantes em poucas páginas sem que o conto fique carregado. não é só a história de um cãozinho.
e, sim, eu faria o mesmo.

no one is more disappointed than me.
the representation was lovely—aroace main character, sapphic romance, non-white characters abound, plus an important discussion about disability.
unfortunately, it wasn’t enough.
the worldbuilding is weak and doesn’t make much sense. it‘s a character-driven book, and the characters just weren’t strong enough to carry the plot—which is rather non-existent for the first 60%, and followed by a rushed ending. the villains’ motives are still unclear to me. there’s a big war on technology that isn’t developed enough to be believable. all characters change theirs minds out of nowhere at least once in the story. i actually relistened to a couple of chapters to check if i hadn’t missed anything, so sudden a character had a change of heart.
i was expecting much, much more.
