The side characters thrilled me wheras the main ones didn't. it was SO COOL seeing the dynamics and side characters knowing ill see their pov in their own books! i am hoping that there is as much of the side characters in other people's books as there is in this was cos i was literally HERE FOR IT AND LOVE IT and it was every other chapter yayyyyyy. I didn't love him. i didn't really know what to think. look, he has no personality as such parrticulary which is kind of thew point i guess as someone who doesnt experience emotions very much. seeing him with Mia was cute and made me happy. she seems so nice saying to him 'its ok to be different' or something along those lines. she met Landon for the first time yayyyyyyyy. serpents vs elites and heathens war will develop in future books im so here for it. Nikolai is so funny and its so funny how everyone is scared of him. yay the friendship groups are opening to make room for all the couples i am excited. it would be such a COOL universe to live in. everyone and thier mother (and their mother lol) is richhhhh and powerfullll its so fun!!!!!! groupchats were sooooooooooo fun to read and i love them in any book.  also, are Asher and Reina literal king and queen of America??? had no idea and i cannot tell if it is genuine or not cos it was only ever brought up once.  couldn't relate to her. she was mid. some people think she's a pushover and don't like her very much in comparison to other Kings. do i agree? well so far answer is looking like i probs will agree. but onto the next book, yay im so ready! this was INFINITELY better than Steel Princess, that maybe i wouldve enjoyed more with a physical copy. it was cool having a physical copy. i highlighted good lines and notable pointswith red tabs. it's so annoying how you have to buy it whether it's online or not, as in not available in libraries or bookstores i go to actually! . Some chapters were THE BEST THING EVER. can you believe Astrid and Levi got a pov?!!!! aq confusing thing i never grasped was her grandpas. she has Henry and Jonathon but then also an uncle or two but one isn't actually her uncle. idk. i didnt look forward to it but i really enjoued it and wanted to continue to read it once i put it down and when i was reading i didnt want to stop. their smut i just, am not the right audience for. it was kind of repetitive and happened a lot, too much for my liking.
