I was mainly moderately confused throughout. Also, the pace is so slow I felt like almost nothing happened. It's all rising action until it suddenly ends.

I don't get why Nova's so worked up and wanting to kill the council for. Everyone makes mistake, what happened with her family is just a mistake idk how she's justifying that their failure to protect her family merits them all dying. It's too all or nothing.

I don't dislike it, I guess. Will probably read archenemies.

Technically it's not actual mass/school shooting or police brutality, but it's the in-universe equivalent.
