Status Updates From Curses, Foiled Again

Well these supernatural beings are interestingly constructed.

Okay, I'm not hating it, but it is a bit clunky. But I am enjoying the silliness of it.

I am a little puzzled by Lo's inability to be placating or tactful or even comprehend that other people dissemble to avoid fights. Particularly as woman of color who words customer service, this kind of seems like a basic survival skill that she would at least understand if not be skilled at? Like, maybe just pretend to go along with the person who has the power to kill you?

I used to cry over this mastodon tableau as a child.

It feels like the author has no idea what to do with her story. The MC went from living with a death sentence over their head to finally wanting to live a little, which is good, but also the MC starts to question the validity of their relationship with Felix--and how justifiable it can be, when Felix is a vampire who has to terrorize people to feed off of them. It's a just concern but the writing makes it feel forced

Promising beginning. Unfortunately, I'm at the halfway point and it feels like we aren't going anywhere.

The author inserted some philosophical musings into their writing, which I liked the first few times but after a bit it felt forced.

I like the main characters, for the most part. I do have issues with Felix, who is akin to a child psychologically speaking. I don't think the lore can justify his psychology.
