I’m starting not to like Helene and I don’t like that🙁 she might turn out to be a real problem from all that propaganda brainwashing

I know for a fact Izzi is not gonna make it and it’s the most terrible sense of impending doom ever

I just know something is blooming between Laia and Keenan and I’m so here for it🤭 but on a serious note, Laia, girl, you need to get OUT OF THERE‼️ I just know she’s gonna get caught eventually and it’s gonna be so bad and there’s no way it can get worse than this but I just know it will

I really hope Helene didn’t die, I really like her character. I need to know more abt her and I need her to witness the END OF MARCUUUSSS😖

The trials actually gel to unique and interesting and didn’t remind me of the hunger games at all which is unfortunately so hard to find in fantasy. The only thing was the first trial did feel pretty fast paced and I didn’t really feel pulled into the story because it kind of felt like it progressed too quickly

Now why would Sabaa give Izzi’s name🙄 now I know she’s not gonna make it 😔

I’m so worried for Laia, things are looking SCARY😫 and someone needs to take Marcus out IMMEDIATELY‼️ and the trials have begun and oh my goodness the pressure is getting worser and worser 😔

Now Helene has a secret too, everybody has secrets and I’m scared for everyone ugh😫

Goodness, so much has happened in just a few chapters. I’m most excited for Laia and Elais’ stories to overlap cuz I know they will. I was thinking they might be the couple of interest somehow but now I’m thinking Keenan might be a contender too. Love triangle maybe🫣 also Elias’ trials are reminding me of Max from Ashen Son (Daughter of No Worlds)
