[muttering to myself] I will not DNF this with only 70 pages left I will NOT DNF this with only 70 pages left—

Without being nit-picky—I AM having fun. Don’t get me wrong. I am enjoying myself. But it’s so weird when it feels like all the research done for a book (a book that, mind you, halfway takes place around the turn of the century in the early 1900s) started and ended in google searches. And there was no research done at all on how expulsions from school systems work. SORRY I KNOW I SAID I WOULDNT NITPICK BUT—

I’m just barely tolerating the drama created for these teens to deal with. Yes, yes, violence against others and the moral repercussions of having inflicted it… I get what the author is trying to do here, but it feels like they’ve fallen into a morality trap where they have to justify actions taken against abusers/oppressors. And don’t even get me started on using lying as a defining characteristic. C’mon.
