My god what a slow start… you have to get like 50% in before caring about wtf is happening.
I sincerely don’t know how many times in this series Pierce uses the “they’re dead… surprise no they aren’t!” trope but when people actually die it feels less real because of it. Cassius’s death should’ve hurt more but considering he died like a book ago too I’m left feeling not sad about it.
Sevro was so annoying in this book. It’s like Pierce took all his best characters and ripped them to pieces.
What was the point of Lyria’s brain thing if she just removes it??
God everything was just so weird… it’s like he’s writing just to write.
