this book 😭😭 its 100% one of my new favourites. i had really high expectations for it and it definitely met them. arlo’s so fucking pure gn
when she asked for a bathroom in the laboratory bc of the slushies she drank 😭 my heart. me too arlo. me too.
also shes the most relatable mc i’ve seen, like yes not all heroes are gladly noble and endlessly brave. she’s strong as hell tho i wanna hug her.

nausicaä’s character development GAH i love her so bad?? n she looks so pretty on the front cover …
HER AND ARLO’S KISS this is so unfair i needed to know what happened after they kissed. i feel robbed of a scene where arlo’s lying on her w nos stroking her hair. i want. so badly.


VEHAN my baby </3
THAT ONE SCENE w the psychic or wtv where he was spewing his true feelings 😭 like oh my god come here let me hug you.
his mum’s such an asshole oh my god can i please adopt him. please.🥺

the mutual pining between vehan and
aurelian
near enough killed me. like pLEASE i need them to be able to be together in the next book. feeling so mfing bad for aurelian.

ALSO the amount of represntation … the nonbinary deity oh my god and nausicaä correcting people when they misgendered them 😭 AND THE HUNTER THAT USES NEOPRONOUNS. this is the first book ive come across w a character that uses neos and let me just say i fucking screamed.

im so so so excited for the next book omg 2022 can’t come fast enough </3
