this was deeply unenjoyable. I had all four books in an ebook and couldn’t even make it past the first one. good gracious
the characters were flimsy. the setting was pretty, but extremely cobbled-together the longer things went. the author just threw a bunch of made-up words and places together and expected us to keep up, skipped whole years worth of emotional and political development… it felt like someone made a kpop twitter-style edit of a full book. just random snatches of pretty cool stuff with 0 context or reason.
I think this universe has a lot of potential, but it was so unenjoyable and rushed to read that I can’t fathom completing the series.
