This book is just overly dramatic and young adult built upon. Kinda hate that. Kinda starting to hate young adult focused towards younger audiences. It's just situation built on situation but some young kids might learn something from it and I love that for them. The writing was pretty good, I love Nic Stone but I'm not her target audience.

i just finished the final gambit and i love that book. AND ITS TERRIBLE i hâte loving books because it makes me HAPPY EXTREMELY HAPPY and then i get all giddy and i can’t think of anything else you’ve seen me like this before you probably don’t remember i just don’t think about anything else besides the thing that’s making me happy. it’s just good it’s just good because it’s a nerdy thing it’s a math thing. it’s a chess thing ! while i understand chess i don’t like playing it because i’d rather imagine chess situations rather than playing it because it’s slow and i can’t stand that. it’s just a really good series and while the author has some iffy scenes as all writers do, i really appreciate her work because it’s so good it’s just good because of how low my standards are for society but it’s so good. and i don’t understand guys sorry i’m probably a broken record about this but i will never stop saying it

marissa you know i love you but i cannot deal with the pregnancy trope. it’s bad. also the end just felt very rushed and i don’t know why the laws of magic in the book just broke in the end. weird. but i love her writing and her mind but i can’t say the same for this book

I really love Ruyi and the relationship she has with Khen. I think they're both fantastic characters and I want to see more about their story. I also really appreciate the ending even though I don't, because it just adds that moment it needed. also love the tea, always have and I always will.
