Fantasy is the epicenter of Stockholm syndrome for real. 

I don't understand how Cat breaks all of her rules in 0.01 seconds because Beta Sinta commands it. It's not cute. 

I wanted to like this so much. 

I like Cat's fierceness, and sometimes, she's funny. Most of the time, she is insufferable. I love the side characters. I find the mythology of the Gods and Goddesses very interesting and on-brand for Posideon and Zeus.
