✨🌠 my about / byf / CW info carrd: uchiha-madara 🌠✨
I think I'd like this book if they toned down the misogny by at LEAST 99.999999 times a milllion percent.
Ok yeah I get it. It's a shitty misogynstic old fart of a rocker man who was originally from Nowheresville, population 50 people and their cow herding dogs. Does that mean it should've been misogyny free? No, I get the intentionally unlikeable protagonist. But it's so single faceted and suffers for it. I'd rather that it was an unending curse, passed on from person to person. The Camilla was not the first 'Camilla'. Camilla is a title, not a person, just like the Yellow King is a title used by multiple people in the book.
Also jesus fucking christ, can we stop with the shitty anti Rromani g slurs already? Fifteen fucking times. Chop your fucking hands off already, we don't need that shit in 2022.
Uhh let's see. The plot was. Thrilling! Interesting! Kinda flat at times. That might be due to being a retelling of someone's memories than anything else.
I really hated the ending. No, not the plot twist of the MCbeing in a psych ward. The plot twist of oh we're finally releasing the album! And then the Camilla character shows up again? For some reason? Like hey wait, why is she here if the album is guaranteed to be released? Like wouldn't the album spreading throughout the world ensure she can complete the ritual? What does she need the reporter guy for? Idk, I'm not thinking too hard on it.
