i really liked this adaptation (again, compacting a lot of the podcast arc made the novel feel less all over the place), but something about the way Wonderland reads made it all seem very rushed, and the stakes felt less drastic than I was anticipating. I still loved the angst of it all, and rejoiced in the wet-cat injured Taako design especially. i miss
sturdy, denim, blue. and also “you fucking took everything from me!” and ALSO magnus rebelling against the bureau at the beginning.
I am okay with the changes but love both of those moments a lot. am gonna throw up about the twins. and blupjeans.
