AHHHHHHHHH. I feel like this is such good middle grade fantasy. I'm in college and I still find myself riveted by it. I loved some of the twists and squinted at others, but eh, what do you expect.

WHY WERE TEDROS AND FILIP SO GAY FOR EACH OTHER??? THOSE ARE TWO HOMOSEXUALS. BRUH. BRUH. AND TRISTAN??? BRO, SHIT R U I N E D ME

Sexism in reference to the girls calling the boys born slaves and the boys just fucking hating women, I guess.

also i'm calling what sophie and rafal have going on an adult minor relationship because i know some people are uncomfortable with that. it's just immortal man getting with 16 year old girl, so take your opinions into account
