I have to say, I absolutely loved it. the characters were complex and their relationships between one another felt so relatable and deeply human despite the completely wild setting. I didn’t mind that you weren’t given all of the answers to everything you might wonder—sometimes I feel like the trend is the YA-ification of fantasy to the point where no one trusts their readers anymore. I really appreciate an author that just says, listen, here’s the world. if you get it, great. if not, || have some eye stealing jokes 🤷|| it really felt like the worldbuilding gave me only what I needed but there is probably so much more in the author’s brain rather than a situation where things are missing because they aren’t well thought out. 

it was funny, I felt absolutely devestated by Kai at times, and I loved how the two timelines paralleled and played off one another. this was just written for me 🤷
