Once again, this book is nothing but summarizing events, we're constantly playing catch-up. "You've been dead for 2 years" ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I can only imagine how disengaging this book is for people who didn't watch CR C2 considering I did and I'm so annoyed. I barely know anything about any of the characters, idc about his dead gf, he doesn't care about his sister, who cares in general with this writing?

This book only just started getting even remotely interesting about 20 pages ago, tell me why on earth it has taken almost half the book to get to this point? Everything up until now has felt like a summary of a person who we barely know. Either, they should've split his story into two books, or they should've skipped all the chapters from his childhood and in the order. Spend more time with the damn characters.

It is gonna take a while to read this cos the pages are big and there's a lot of text on each page xD also honestly so far, the book is a bit meh? It's a LOT of telling not showing. I understand the writer has to tell a story that Talisin Jaffe had in his twisted mind, but I'm lacking something internal. The writer also has a habit of showing us the character feels something, and then telling us.... It's a bit ehhhh

Welp, A Darker Shade of Magic was my physical read atm but I'm dumb and forgot it on the plane and Norwegian apparently don't follow procedures for lost goods and tossed it. I'll be finishing that on audiobook I guess, thank God it was a cheap paperback. Since I just came back from the CR live show this week, I thought it would be a good time to start this book that I got for Christmas last year.
