Scarlet and Julian are a mess. Two stupid, dumb messes on their own, and one happily dramatic mess together.

Tella is 10 whole messes on her own and deeply unlikable. She became less likable over the series. I'd love to know how that was possible. I truly kept thinking she could not get worse. But her thinking and decision making skills as well as her selfishness always found a way to worsen.

I did not have the patience for Tella's main choice: the false dichotomy between Legend or Jacks. There are other choices...like no one. But see above: Tella's decisions are abysmal. So we follow Tella's nonsense thoughts as she decides which brand of rudeness and manipulation she prefers.

I was really here just for the fate story. I kept waiting for the fates storyline to take over, but this series was merely an inner-dialog style teenage romance drama with little story ideas scattered throughout.
