I FUCKING KNEW IT

Brandon when I CATCH YOU AASGJASJASKJSA

Absolutely loved all the character moments and revelations. Truly perfect chaotic found family. All my favorite scenes from Era 2 happened in this book:
- Sterris and Wax looking for three clips in the tax reports and being in love is the cutest thing ever
- MeLaan reassuring people that the age gap is not creepy because the body she ate is 16 (YIKES)
And the best scene ever:
everyone traumatizing an old housekeeper for 5 pages straight. Including Wax trying to jump out of windows, Sterris handing her a 50 pages notebook on what can go wrong, Marasi asking where to find grave robbers, Wayne explaining cross dressing to this 80 year old and MeLaan storming in naked to ask what breast size she should make herself
Honestly MeLaan is such an icon. I love her. I would die for her. Diversity win: the holy person about to eat you is gender-fluid! *-*

Having to read a certain event from Wayne's perspective was actually offensive, knowing what happens in the next book. What is wrong with authors?
I’m not gonna acknowledge the last 2 pages because I AM GOING INSANE WTF BRANDON
I did call it tho

Also Brandon is a coward and should make them all gay.

Getting crazy. Usually I like when stories are small and contained. Oh well. Still a blast
