THIS IS A GOOFY READ! I listened to it and damn I love a good amount of bickering/flirting and character interaction. I truly can believe the emotional maturity of a 16 year old and it is so goofy to have little exorcist boy, rusalki, and human

not really

I did have to question this book halfway through because like damn they all lowkey wanted to kill each other with Aleski being a bies. Him wanting Kazik's body was CRAZYYYY

Found family vibes with water spirits and the panic of maybe you want to kiss both people

or like your mortal enemy

I really wish it didn't end the way it did though, which dropped it down.

Marketing a book as poly and them not getting together is real sad even though its clear they are in love with one another.

Also like, I wish we got to see a bit more about their thoughts on gender! Especially with Gisela being like, damn I wanna be a boy in my next life, and Yulia, I used to be a drowner but I went ahh no
