the way that “Pixieboy” is sorta implied to be a slur and yet everyone keeps using it like it’s nothing

finally some zila characterization

it’s really not much of a plot twist if you leave out all of the information needed for the reader to predict it. it’s just unfair and lazy

oh no not dialogue being described as a purr. this really is an sjm book but in ✨space✨

why do everyone’s solutions to any given problem always include seduction?

i’m honestly torn between whether it’d be better or worse to let the characters use actual swears or not. on the one hand, it would make them sound like actual people. on the other, it’d emphasize just how crude the writing is in it’s attempt to be, i guess funny?

I haven’t seen a character so offended by being correctly called a “liability” since one Clary Fairchild back in 2008.
