4.0

The first third covered about half of The King’s Men from Jean’s perspective. It was interesting but felt very slow

Once we got to new events it picked up for me. The juxtaposition of Jean’s view of life vs the Trojans’ was consistently sad and jarring throughout and I really look forward to Jean learning how to be a person

Jeremy’s perspective was nice. I really love the Trojan team and found them very fun

I never knew I needed to know what happened to Jean until this book was announced. Once the announcement was out, all I could think about was him and I've been obsessed ever since.

This book was everything I needed, it laid the groundwork for what will happen in book two, how Jean will grow and how his relationship with the Trojans and with Jeremy will evolve. This book was very much necessary to make us understand what he went through and what he survived, and I can't wait to see him bloom because if there's anyone who deserves it, it's him.

Side note, i love how Neil showed up and just served cunt lmao like, I do understand Andrew on a spiritual level, my boy never stood a chance against Neil, he was doomed to fall in love with him from the very beginning
