loved loved loved. even writing this review feels weirdly meta and ironic after finishing it. i hate june hayward and the entire time i was hoping she got what was coming to her, yet felt so badly when it did. the way kuang was able to create such a detestable set of characters while still making them whole, vivid, and tangible will keep my head rolling for WEEKS.
