"You can't take loved back" 😭😭😭😭

Reread review: I can't believe some ppl don't like this one bc it barely has Harrow and Gideon but if anything it just shows that Muir is a talented writer, she can write a compelling story without hanging on you being attached to the characters already. Same with the genre, Nona is still space opera but more domestic and coming of age story wrapped in. Or at least Nona is trying SO hard to have a coming of age story and not the horror space opera. I also loved the John sections, I'm obsessed with what a mundane antagonist God is. He doesn't mean to be an antagonist he just makes a lot of shit and selfish decisions, he is so real. Also the way the world ends is a bit terrifying in it's realism
