MARTE YOU'D HAVE LOVED AO3

The themes and tragedy are wrapping up so well, and I've grown to like the midway twist. However, the Bishop is still such a frustratingly flat and mustache-twirling villain, it's exhausting and predictable. It'd have been better if we didn't get his POV at all. Still, I'm really invested in Aley's story.

I've reached the midpoint twist, and I must say I'm not too pleased with the direction the story seems to be taking. Maybe I missed some important foreshadowing. But we'll see how the plot points resolve.

Was not expecting this book to be so engaging, charming and fun so early on.
