The majority of the plot is good. I have a hard time with the ability of the five year old!

needed more proofreading. Multiple scenes that don’t logistically make sense - someone standing up twice (within 3 paragraphs) from their seat, someone doing/holding things that would require 3 arms, a woman w long 1827 skirts goes from standing to being walked across the room w her legs around his hips (no mention of skirts being lifted for this to work) Then her skirts get lifted once she’s sitting on a desk

Also sick of being TOLD over and over that he’s the ruthless king of the dials! But never ONCE being shown a smidge of that ruthlessness. All were shown is his self doubting, and zero self confidence

Sigh. I feel like the whole book just repeats itself over and over and over and over and we’ve only made like 18hr of real-time progress in the characters lives. The scary threat from pg 1 is still there & unchanged, her secret feelings from pg 1 same thing, on and on. Going to skim the end I’m so bored

Not good. Was very excited about this on the first few pages only to find that this is ALL a tell-don’t-show book. Have no idea why Regina has been in love with him for a decade, honestly, no idea. We’re just told she is. Stephen is a massive nuisance that should be kicked to the curb. I didn’t read any previous books but feel like they have been sledge hammered into me. I get it. They’re FAMILY. Barf.
