glad to say i’m done with this series, sad to say i didn’t enjoy it as much as i thought i would. there’s a lot i could write and get into, but it’s been less than 5 minutes since i finished this book and it’s left me exhausted. maybe i’ll come back and give more thoughts or maybe i’ll enjoy my life more if i just move on…

it's... all so complicated. this book, and the story in general, is so layered it's beautiful. at some point, though, the execution made it so complicated. rip rin, kitay, and venka— you will forever be missed.
