Status Updates From Un Fléau de Sang & de Pierre

i’m going to finish this because my mother didn’t raise a quitter (and i have ocd) but holy shit the quality drop off is INSANE. did the editor read this at all? zander’s POV is so so so cliche and only seems to exist so there’s an excuse to continue having romy be in the dark (hello we did this last book). he has no depth aside from “i love romy but i need to be broody because the plot demands it”
