4.5/5

instigante e em certos momentos bem angustiante, esse leva tudo isso de estrelas (faltou um tiquinho pra eu não dar 5/5) porque curti muito a o dinamismo dos personagens e achei o daniel muito cativante.

como quase todos os livros que eu leio hoje em dia (kkk) tem uma coisa ou outra ali que eu queria que tivesse sido mais desenvolvido, mas pra quem gosta de suspense, mistério policial, essas coisas, O Beijo do Rio é um prato cheio.

podia ter levado (ou insinuado) pra fantasia? podia e seria do crl. podia ter investido mais nos relacionamentos queer e poli? podia e ter sido do crl. podia ter aprofundado mais alguns personagens e falado mais ainda sobre trauma geracional? mas com toda certeza e seria o crl das galáxias.

meu ponto é que o fim foi muito.... esse livro merecia (e diria, precisava) de pelo menos uns 3 ou 4 capítulos pra falar mais sobre as consequências da investigação,,, a "justificativa" do líder religioso foi muuito fraca e rasa, também achei que tiveram certas coisas sobre/entre ele e o romeu que deviam ter sido mais explanadas.

outra coisa que fiquei assim ????? foi por que diabos tinham barquinhos de papel em vários lugares da cidade? fiquei esperando isso ser discutido o livro inteiro e não entendi o motivo de não ter sido mesmo depois de tantas menções kkkkk, mas enfim.

ainda assim curti muito, leria uma continuação pra expandir nesses pontos FÁCIL.

this trilogy is so chaotic and has some… far fetched concepts and it has no right to be this captivating but yea i love sports themes a normal amount.

also, ugh. maybe don't read this.

this was chaotic, and confusing at times, and i have no idea if i’m even supposed to like or cheer for any of the characters besides neil. so why am i itching to read the next book??? yet i am.

bem desinspirado

honestly expected the fact that kelly is ace to be brought up more… like… it was a bit disappointing since that’s one of the elements of it i was most looking forward to seeing portrayed. at the same time tho, i get why it wasn’t a bigger plot point and it’s nice? in a way? that not be a big deal?

dunno, my unsureness about how i feel about this ended knocking this review a whole star down anyways.

taking a few months between the last couple of books after the first two dis help to quell some of my annoyance about the excess of repetition. i still don’t like it but idk if it’s less annoying in books 3 and 4 (i’ve finished both books as i write this review) or if i just needed some distance before picking the series back up to appreciate the other things more instead of just being annoyed annoyed annoyed (see what i did there?)

lol, you should still give this a go. this picks up after a break in the story and it’s cool you see how some characters evolve.

i only had human-gavin for one book but if anything happened to him i would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

this is the best book out of the series. i could not believe my eyes when we go to how cute gavin was, that carter didn’t combust in the spot is a wondrous thing.

this series cannot be read in a one after the other, it gets tiring and repetitive, klune should’ve given some repetitions a break, or contextualize why the heck everything had to be said in mothereffing threes. my brother in christ you had to know at some point it’d get tiring. now i wanna read something else by klune just to see how he plays in different sandbox.

anyhoo

gavin in a pink sweater is everything
