I'm not loving the repetition of things. Every time heartstone is mentioned were told that it's how the automae 'eat' basically every single time. I get it already. And then repeating the layout if the castle and kingdom and garden and then what's beyond it. It's all so tedious and not needed AND brought up during moments of tension building making all tension suddenly stop and flatten.

I'm frustrated by the way Nina seems to purposefully stunt Ayla's growth for most of this book by giving her more and more pain and loss rather than exploring the depth of how trauma is not linear. I just was starting to like the progression just for it to suddenly get cut and were back to the beginning?
It just gets exhausting to read a character be forced into a space of regression over and over again. Idk idk

Really annoyed that I was spoiled for what happens in this book just by simply searching for the next in the series and seeing the synopsis. Don't understand the point of sharing every major plot point of the end of the first book on the back of the second but here we are. So far I'm growing to like this book. It's currently sitting around a 3.5 to a 4 star for me.

Story has finally started to kick off and I'm grateful for that. I also really like how Nina doesn't betray the way Crier believes for the sake of softening the love aspect or making her more palatable. She's still clear that her orders should be followed, but naive as to why people would struggle with that. It's refreshing in a way. Also appreciated the way she wrote the start of Crier's dissent with the dias scene

The fuck you mean "of age at 13"?!?!?!
I dont love the enormous amount of info dump9ng right off the rip. We're given SO much and it's a little hard to keep up with. Love Crier so far. Definitely don't trust Kinok. Also, I'm confused on the actual end goal of ARM? They're posed as bad but want to separate from humans, while the king wants to be more like Hans but also views them as inferior? I'm lost.
