*actively reads horror books* *something horrific happens in the book* *me: 👁️👄👁️*

The Mei-Haloke thing is a bit murky. Are they Lesbians? What draws Haloke to long for Mei like that is never truly spelled out directly and Mei never has POV scenes.

So far only one male character has three dimensions or close. The rest are cardboard cutouts. While the female characters are all very well developed, even minor ones. I think the author’s biased as a feminist is probably responsible for this, and I think she could work on writing better characterization despite her own personal biases in the future and have a much stronger book.

Mixing up Clara and Clementine at times. Good example why naming two main characters with the same first letter is unwise
