The writing isn’t my favorite. Like the character development and word building portions are tough. The Guardian is described as a really godlike character, scary, mean, etc, but all we see is actually a super lighthearted and teasing version of him. The talk doesn’t match the walk.

The writing is just so awkward and juvenile. The interactions are juvenile. Nothing is happening. Contradictions at every corner. Is Evie a secret and just an ordinary kid or does she have the entire fortress wrapped around her finger??

The plot is so weak. And how many times do we have to hear Odessa tell people, “Just Odessa.” I hate when characters are so forcibly “relatable” or nice.

I just don’t see why the Guardian is obsessed with her, teaching her, paying her any mind. This happens when there is poor set-up.

1. Spy lessons? Ok that’s ridiculous.
2. You walk around wearing a crown.. of course people will notice and act differently.

So far, not seeing the hype. Already noticing some continuity errors.
