first person pov (book turn off of mine) but i really liked it even if she went from killing one dude to. like everyone. it wasn’t reliant on the relationships while still making them enjoyable yizhi and shimin 🫶🫶
the plot was fun. probably won’t reread it for awhile but it was good. i’ve been meaning to get to it for like a year though and the prologue? uninteresting compared to the rest, for real.
