I cant believe i actually got to read this i was hesitant at first bc its been such a long time between the last book and this one and we’ve all had so much time to come up with our own headcanons by now but this absolutely lived up to my expectations

This was a deeply traumatizing time for jean but i was having the time of my life ngl i think the funniest part in this book is that jean was just like “yeah the torture i had to endure for years was bad but you know what is worse? being bisexual” and hes so real for that obviously the trauma goes a lot deeper but this stood out lol

The scenes we got from the last book in jeans and jeremy’s pov had me grinning like a maniac while reading ngl it was so fun (not for jean but i digress)

also neil in jeans pov?? absolutely feral. he was in this book for like max 5-6 pages and still solved about 3-4 of jeans problems and delivered him a found family on a silver platter truly a man of action i love him so much

as with the previous books look at the trigger warnings this may be called sunshine court but we get to hear about all of the torture and rape jean had to go through with the ravens and nora truly did not hold back. We even got 2 jean lines that hit equally hard as andrews “i was seven of course i believed him” and his answer to the “who said please so much” so you know, prepare.

also jean having an equivalent to neils “im fine” with his “injuries happen during scrimmages” with equal reactions from everyone around him was truly *chefs kiss*

also im curious about the pacing bc this felt like a very slow plot progression considering this is only supposed to be a duology. I know this is a story of healing but there’s still so much to go through especially bc we barely touched on jeremy’s problems and jean made minimal progress which is still a lot considering the amount of trauma he has but we also only have one book left?
