for some reason i feel like all the chemistry between alex and darlington disappeared somewhere. maybe there wasn't much of it in the first book either, and i just made something up on my head because my friends were obsessed with them. idk

“She said, ‘You think the devil has horns? Well, so did I
But I was wrong, his hair is combed and he wears a suit and tie
He's nice, polite, he'll catch you by surprise
A smile so bright, you'd never bat an eye’”

saw an edit with makima to this song and immediately thought about darlington. this is so him!

i think i like this part more. maybe it’s because i already know the characters and feel connected to them, so i’m genuinely invested in the story and i really care about alex and dawes. the pacing also feels more balanced this time, the beginning doesn’t drag the way the ninth house did

this one will be my beach read
