SJM definitely needs to flesh out stuff more. I think the story is interesting, but there are moments when she’ll start “skipping” time and will tell instead of show the reader what the characters are doing. So I’m thinking she either ran out of time to expand more on these scenes or maybe was not able to write more because of her page limit. Honestly, Bloomsbury should just let her write up to 2000 pages!

If I ever was asked to criticize SJM’s work, it would be that things are a little *too* convenient. It gets corny and unrealistic.

Hypaxia entrusted the antidotes to the two biggest idiots of the series SMH

I will say it again: this whole subplot with Lidia having sons is so annoying. It completely ruined the hype of her character and everything that was built in HOSAB. I really don’t see the point of it other than to create more unnecessary drama and plot filler. I honestly think SJM just loves to write about being a mother and having kids bc she is a mother with kids. But as someone who doesn’t have any, idgaf!

What the actual fuck, Tharion. You had ONE JOB. One fucking job. What a damn waste of antidotes. How the hell is this dude even a character we’re supposed to root for 😑

If we really think about it, it makes a lotta sense that Theia’s mate is a demon prince of Hel lol. But Aidas seems like more of a good person than she was.

Well that’s fucking lame. Ugh. Why rush Ruhn and Lidia’s scenes when there was such a build up to it? UGH.

I’m sorry SJM but I’m just too ruined by other, better smutty books. I can’t help but cringe when Bryce and Hunt do it 💀💀💀
