To be honest… there are some positions I find insufferable from Ellie, even in the context she is from. I can understand her distaste from the patriarcal norm and her criticisms of it, but letting it dictate this much of her life it’s tiresome. She’s way too much of an absolutist and I thought she would’ve seen this after TotSK.

Jesus, so much to say. The last few chapters were better than what we had before, with the conflict creating tension where previously there was non. It was a relief.

Finished chapter 5. The Mausoleum of Halikarnassos is not my favorite Wonder, but I did find fascinating that the word Mausoleum exists thanks to the king buried in it.

Not gonna lie, it’s a relief to see them actually talk to one another finally

12 pages in and I really can see all the MCU characters 😭😭😭
