So I suppose here is where I should be devastated but to be honest with you, the relationship with Jest and Cath was fun only for a short time and the whole "will they won't they" kind of made me numb to their decisions concerning their love (that I did not feel) and I never cared for them much as characters even separately to feel this.
I also think that this whole situation was described without much real emotion.

But to be fair, the conversation happening here is good as fuck...not sure we deserve it? but...yeah...it works on me

Gods I DON'T CARE? What is with this pacing and plot? What even is supposed to be the plot? This should be the villain origin story and so far I have got NOTHING that would suggest so? Why is nothing of significance? This book is only good when Jest and Cath are together otherwise it is inconsequential and boring, I am sorry. I liked it the first maybe 20% but it is going downhill bad...

It is getting quite boring. After the initial good vibes I feel like it is moving nowhere and so many scenes are just not important. This is a book for somebody who does not want to think that much and just wants to enjoy some fictional world casually. And that is really not me. After 38% I have been given not much tbh. But maybe the devastating heartbreaking ending everyone is talking about will change it for me yet

Yes, this is for me lol
It is repetitive sometimes and it is slower when it comes to pacing, but when Jest is present, I don't even see left or right tbh.
It is obvious, that it is YA, and I do not read YA, as it often is not believable to me, especially in depictions of characters and their decisions etc.
But this is so far just a fun little book, that is more atmospheric almost? I like it a lot!
