The pacing of this is confusing. The tension isn’t really dictated by the constant battles and danger. The tension is very much created by the quiet unraveling of the meta plot and the keeping of secrets. I think I really like that subversion. Keir and Grey are incredibly enmeshed and unhealthy. The magic system feels heavily influenced by Adept and Cav dynamics in tlt. It’s delicious. I’m obsessed.

I’m well and truly in this now and it is 2:30am and I still have 148 pages to go. Tragic.

Im not complaining, but this genuinely reads like Cam and Pal fic. They are so toxically codependent it’s horrific. I love it.
