the shift in writing style is....... really obvious ! if my suspicions are right then,, well,, clare should have just written this on her own because chu’s characterisation and writing isn’t... great

i don’t know if my taste has matured and it’s always been like this or just this book... but i feel like i’m being spoon-fed every single reason for every single emotion and feeling a character has when it’s already been conveyed enough through their actions/dialogue? idk it’s still going okay but it can get a little tedious sometimes it makes the book feel more padded than it needs

tabbing all the pages where kit is obviously thirsting after ty? you bet my gay ass

i thought i cared for waiyaki in the last 2 pages and then i don’t anymore because he’s so stupid oh my god. somebody help this boy

HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS BITCH HAVE TO REITERATE WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW

i feel like this is me at age 12 trying to be fake deep

premise sounds cool. writing is not. nothing i hate more than literal, expositional narration.

skipped a few stories in the middle cause they were kind of terrible but its picking up

i am licking up EVERYTHING

VAST improvement from what i just finished reading. i love these characters so much.
