I don’t loooove the writing but I’m curious and not that annoyed by it so this is good. I think if I hadn’t loved the Ascended already I’d have less faith.

My understanding is the last 10% of this is a banger so let’s see if it saves the book from being a total bummer
The ascended does not deserve to be associated with this nonsense, tbh. Justice for the ascended.

Ok so I’m interested in the plot (even when it’s flimsy) and I’m curious about the magic and politics. I am SICK of being inside Fia’s head. Her obsession with the redhead (both of them tbh) is pathetic. Girl, are you 15? She’s so angry and prejudiced and blind and jealous and weirdly into the guy and WHY we have seen nothing to support this obsession she has? And the jealousy ew barf gross

Please be for real, the introduction of the conflict is so freaking manufactured the writing is cheesy and the delivery/dialogue is wild. Lame. “Here’s a scary thing. Based on nothing, we believe and assume they are going to do X and Y. Again, it’s an assumption that we are all blindly following and we have no other theories or info.”
