Every time (so far) Death says that something terrible will happen, it’s always not as terrible as he originally states. It’s anticlimactic, but definitely suprises the reader

I don’t agree with the speaker blaming mortal ignorance instead of the gods

But nonetheless it is thought provoking

Why is Cupid the parallel of Christ 😭

I don't like the "wife" comparison to a follower, and some diction e.g. "obey" [one's husband/God in this case] is bugging me, despite knowing the social norms of the setting.

Why are we dropping unnecessary f-bombs like Hollywood

A previous section of the book felt a bit too similar to Kuang's The Dragon Republic

Letty's dialogue makes me think Kuang underestimates her audience's understanding of the situation

Can't decide how I feel about the allusion to King George and Queen Charlotte

Also the 'drinking blood = heartbeats' seems inconsistent:
Maria feels her heart beat after killing Sabine, Alice doesn't since she drinks from a cup, but Charlotte does even though she appears to be drinking from a cup (unless she is drinking from Sabine)

Shouldn't drinking from other vampires not pass the heartbeat due to their nature?

It's complicated cuz they're supposed to lose their humanity yet I can't help but feel like they lack depth as characters

Alice's flashbacks are throwing me off 😭
Her (and Sabine's) anger often feel unfounded, despite the book being marketed as a "story about rage"
