“I think we all get to decide what good and bad and right and wrong mean to us, not what we’re told to accept.”
I can't even tell you all about what happened, because I'm still recovering and it's gonna take a while before I do so.
➴ My smart girl Pip. Why does she have to go through all of this? (She absolutely ate though.) Why can't she live happily with Ravi and just enjoy normal life as much as she can? Pip and Ravi deserve that and more.
— This book had me on a rollercoaster of emotions.The annoyance and madness I felt when Max was "proven" not guilty?? That hurt me to the core. I hope this little bitch gets what he deserves in the last book.
✧ The ending was just sad.Stanley, please, rest in piece. I'm sorry for the bad that was done to you.
“Stanley died with his ankles in her hands, scared and bleeding out while a fire raged around them. She didn’t think he’d want to be cremated, burned, like his father had done to those six kids.”
⤷ Just let me cry in piece.

A Curse for True Love by Stephanie Garber
I was excited to read this book as so many of other people. This was nice, but I guess it didn't deliver what I wanted?
➴ The lack of evajacks content is probably the biggest issue. You would assume that since it's the third one, it's gonna be filled with content. I feel like that was not the case with this one.
— The plot also wasn't really there, but I wouldn't even mind it that much if we got great evajacks, more jacks and less apollo. Who said that we want more Apollo, Stephanie? Who? That would be a big LIE. (I still appreciate Stephanie and I will eat whatever she releases, don't get me wrong.)

I think that if you relate to the feelings he's going through or you are interested in psychology, it can be very interesting, somehow even comforting book, but if you don't, you're not gonna enjoy it that much.

Re-reading, I love this manga overall so much. The movie is one of my favorite anime movies. I definitely recommend! I just like this volume a little bit less than the others, but you need to see Shoko's and Ishida's past.
