The letters between Lyra and Draven gutted me! I love the emotional depth. This book also has such a philosophical connotation to it. It is about all the multifaceted layers to humanity. what makes someone inherently good horrible inhumane things. If you had the power to decide if humanity, those who have turned to greed, tyranny, and murder, should be saved or destroyed for a chance to start over, what would you do?

Devastation! Did not expect this! I love L and D but I feel a little guilty bc Cas is the tormented soul forced to wander alone 400 years without love and watch humanity destroy itself. He’s not good and turned on humanity in disgust but in L he found a small spark of hope for humanity and she found empathy in him.. kinda shipping them now but D just obliterated all expectations I had for where this book was going.

We are about to get to a huge arc in the book but from 30-50% it has been dragging! Too many POVs and no real action. Just lots of hints of secrets that have yet to be revealed. No spice, no action, and lots of sadness. But… I do LOVE these characters so much. I know more heartbreak is to come and I NEED a HEA!
