A lot more grounded and not as super loud, hastily revolutionary as I expected it to be. Both in the literal and metaphorical sense.

I really do wish that a lot of what happened in this book happened a lot sooner with a lot more pacing. But it has been nice. I still don’t know how to feel about Misaki and Takeru’s relationship and Misaki’s acceptance and relinquishment of her life in general, in favor and in need of a life she has to face, but at least I’ve finally come to terms that this is book centered around acceptance and emotions

THIS IS SM FUN OMG. the fighting is finally getting there and it’s exciting to see it all. Im hoping that Miami is able to Reagan her full autonomy soon because we’re reaching the half mark. I find myself rooting for the ranganese. The politics are pretty questionable in a good way. At this point, im really wondering how this is all going to close up

Ugh, misaki’s blade and her past. I’m so excited for her to start taking action along with the rest of the plot. I like how so far everything has been happening in one day. Super happy to see both mother and son come to terms with the reality of their history and their future to come. The way Mamoru is dealing with this whole world upending is so relatable and interesting to read
