I found this book very gripping and there were multiple times in the book that made me go “holy shit man!”
I listened to this at work and to say the least, I said to myself that this is similar to Avatar the last air bender.

Where to even begin..?? I made several notes throughout reading and got salty reflecting on them all over again. First, didn’t realize the fourth book isn’t out yet and I’m dying? Unwell. Ends on a crazy cliffhanger and I need MORE. That being said there’s so much wrong with this book too but I still want book 4. So am I dumb? Idk man. Spoilers below

1. How is it possible that we see her get forgiveness for the fire situation but there are multiple times where she fails to disclose the full truth????
2. The device of “oh we’re about to f*ck but we get cut off” or the “about to get key info but gets cut off” got utilized WAY TO FUCKING MUCH. like made me super pissed off used too much.
3. Case in point, both Luther and FMC about to nut in the woods and her mom literally interrupts. This is not sexy, I would rather burn my eyes out than read a scene like this in a book ever again. Ick on max volume.
4. Vance is somehow still alive? Like plz just kill this mfer already. Someone willing to kill children to prove a point should prob just die and I feel like that’s not a hot take idk.
5. Ppl that can read your mind would know you’re ick’d out by them? Like you suddenly flirting with them after being revolted before you protected your mind against them…?

All that to say certain things just failed to add up. And there were lines that took me directly out of the story, including a time when FMC addresses the reader directly, literally stating “you get the point”. Like girl. This is not a tell and tell to the reader.
AND yet. I’ll still read the 4th book whenever the f it comes out I guess.
