Me ha gustado mucho, no me ha flipado. Alex es MUY guay y el mundo que presenta es horripilantemente verosímil. Me gusta el rollo de la magia, me gustan los personajes y el misterio ha estado interesante. Supongo que no soy muy fan de los thrillers per se, por mucha magia que tengan.
También hubiera agradecido el CW por una escena de una violación explícita.

God I’m sick of reading fantasy that’s extremely over the top “edgy” and “gritty” in a fake feeling way seemingly just to make it seem more “serious”
