To be fair, this book does a lot of things right for sure. I love the characters fiercely and the new perspective from Arthur is nice; the man behind the imposing magical force. The domestic moments are so wholesome, the timing of the humor is much better - I’ve enjoyed it but am overall a little disappointed with how it seems to have lost its way in the third quarter

I’m almost done and have a lot of thoughts, but mainly the following
- the narrator for the audiobook is actively horrendous and ruins incredibly beautiful moments by trying too hard and somehow not enough
- very, very, VERY preachy. I understand where it’s coming from but it feels like someone mansplaining human rights and I’m over it
- the whole resolution of the DICMY plot is ridiculous

Definitely more sexual content than expected at this point. Not necessarily distasteful, just a surprise choice and an adjustment for me

Beautiful imagery and elegant wording, even in the gross horrible parts. They’re supposed to be gross and horrible, to make the reader uneasy and unsure, but holy wow
