Definitely some needed character development in this book but I think some of the explicit content was wholly unnecessary.

I can't tell if I like this book best because it's actually better/plays to SJM's strengths as a writer or if this one just has more characters/tropes that appeal to me personally. *gestures at Nesta like I'm John Mulaney in 'Kid Gorgeous'*: My wife's a bitch, and I like her so much.

Still deducting points for the clumsy deus ex machina.

Also:

Yet another fictional universe that really needs to get around to inventing the therapist.

Much like Star Wars,

I'm supposed to believe that our main characters can heal from anything except being female pregnancy.

We now have two male characters named after female goddesses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is a potentially fatal pregnancy

and the mother is not informed her life might be in danger. There's no discussion of abortion.

I liked the characters better before I read this book. So much pigheadedness.
