I’m doneeee! This was very similar to the last one in terms of having no plot and basically just being vibes. It was 700 pages though. Towards the end, when the battle was happening, I only cared about Cordelia, but it kept skipping back and forth between them all and I was getting so annoyed.

Anywayyyy, happy endings all round…apart from Christopher - was that fucking necessary?! I loved how James was the one waiting for Cordelia to save him in the end, I really feel like it flipped the gender norms of the men having to come to the women’s rescue. Instead of being afraid for her, he was relieved to see that she had come after him, and he knew she was going to doing everything she could to save him.
