- f|f, and for the rest zips mouth
- polyamory, lesbian MCs, and other queer characters
i think the best way to describe my reading htn is 45% wtf-is-even-happening and the rest being oh-God-this-cant-be-happening in the best and worst possible way!!
tazmuir has created such an enigmatic world filled with the most devious characters, and dad jokes, it blows my mind every time i think about it!!
honestly,,,, OBSESSED with this world and i cant wait for the next book!!

So much of it is in a second-person narrative, and I barely even noticed it (until the twist comes in and I screamed--totally forgot about this twist on the second read through). I feel like it would have been so easy to just stick with the irreverent humor of Gideon and weirdness of the first book for the entirety of the sequel, but Muir takes so many risks that pay off dramatically and it's so great. The humor is still there, but it's just coupled with a lot of deep feelings. It's a maddening and spectacular book.
Even knowing the twist at the end just enhanced the book for me. I felt there was so much foreshadowing and hints about what is to come that I just did not recognize the first time I read through it (because the first time I read it I felt I was being gaslit and was just trying to stay afloat) and it's just a delight to read.
