4.0

2021: every single time i’m supposed to be responsible and productive i think ah yes, let’s proceed to reread THIS SERIES,
random things, this time
- listen for all its faults it’s incredible to reread knowing what happens in the later books bc like. the amount of detail is astonishing. foreshadowing babeyyy
- what the heck is organdelle it was literally never explained this is uncool lemme know abt more tanu :(
- if i have to read the phrase “slack with shock” or “rigid with shock” one more time i’m going to commit a crime
- hhhh alvalaithen my beloved
- i really like the way how the first time chloe meets gabriel she decides his staff is a lightsaber and he’s just kinda like ...”it’s decidedly NOT a lightsaber” idk why but that’s hilarious to me
- ingrid
- neptune
- how the hell are these kids still on their feet after 27 hours. death
- the pacing is still funny to me bc idk the first parts r all slow exploration and then all of a SUDDEN, INSANITY for like 100 pages
- sometimes i forget these kids are like 12 and 15 until parts like the “touching” part appear and then i’m like oh yeah. children
- i jus wanna know abt more tan’ji bro
- i want a jithandra i wonder what my vora color would be

this... this is one of the books that I'll remember always. although it starts out really slowly, it does soon pick up pace and wow.
