I want to enjoy this series as much as I have enjoyed the Wayward Children series, and I’ll stick with it to see if it gets there, but I just didn’t love this completely. I found the section where the villain is revealed painfully saneist, and had to grit my teeth through all the description of why ‘crazy’ people are less effective murderers than ‘evil’ people… as a ‘crazy’ person myself, it just really landed wrong. I also found the discussion around sexual coercion really uncomfortable.
Is it cheating if you’re enchanted into sex? No! No it is not! That’s coercion and it shouldn’t be a question!


I do love Tybalt, though.
