lol wtf did i just read i’m just so confused with the plot now it’s just gone in a direction i don’t care abt at all. i thought the story was gonna serve jude duarte lana myers assassin energy but it’s serving shatter me fated shit that i’m not into like ugh  

jamie is so sus rn idk what’s going on like why is he aligning w the professor 

sophie joining leo and them? weird but so unexpected like bitch. daniel THE BAE and best character deserves better. i miss the fam like joseph and mum and dad 💔 i hate that they’re being kind controlled and left out 

stella wth we were all rooting for u what’s going on. she’s so rude and blaming mara like what 

leo and his group are SUS i’m so confused tho like noah said stepping into the house is the one decision he wishes he could’ve changed so… 

I LOVE GOOSE king. if he does i’ll be so upset like i love him :( i have a bad feeling just cos he’s got caught up w this now. his power is mysterious tho idk 

reading noah’s pov is hard like his depression is so bad, he rlly has nothing to live for besides mara. i hope by the bf he finds purpose and true happiness. also he can’t heal now what? i thought he healed after cutting himself to prove goose so im confused 

bruh im so confused with mara like what is going on. she killed noah’s dad which SLAY but she’s not killing everyone else but everyone’s blaming her and im fucking confused. the plot makes no sense like why r these ppl dying. UGH this story could’ve been so so good but it went down the weirdest direction. 

also her grandma is alive wtf… i can’t even. i rlly hope this trilogy is the end of the series like the plot just gets worse and worse and i have no idea what’s going on. 

noah and mara aren’t being that cute rn like they’re kinda codependent but toxic rn idk. ugh idk what’s going on. 

it was funny at times but even the group dynamic isn’t the same as before. the chaotic neutral stuff jamie is talking abt was lowk accurate and funny but yea, idk it all feels different. but “who cares i love him anyway” being maras lifetime story WAS HILARIOUS 

anyways boring lol. maybe cos i’m in a sleep and literally don’t wanna read anything but yea.
