The book has definitely found its stride in part II, still think the multiverse-style is good but maybe distracting from the overall plot

Following the three different Vis has pretty much made the audiobook a no go, reading physical/digital is way easier to keep up with the different worlds

Make sure you read the interlude on the authors website first. So much to catch up on

Loving the themes of academic anxiety that littered throughout this book. If you have ever been someone who has chased academic honors or gone through higher education, then you know this exact feeling.

Love that Kuang is using a Greek heroes journey style setup for what is very much a not heroic but actual selfish reason birthed from anxiety

I don't know what caused me to wait on this duology turned trilogy for so long but I am excited to finally get to book 2 of this journey. V.E Schwab month is going to end with a bang!

I think I am just going to have to recognize that I might just not like cozy or I at least need something to go along with the cozy

The dynamic between Inesa and the Angel is extremely interesting. There is a budding romance between them but could easily turn into something way more sinister
