This book flows a lot better than the first, probably bc having a thorough editor is part of the package of a traditional publisher picking up your book. Still, it’s written in third-person deep, and Blake keeps giving nuggets of the personal thoughts of characters outside the proper POV.

Ok this book is genuinely disorienting me with its pacing. A character is now thinking back to an event that happened several days or weeks ago, and we’re just now getting her flashback that reveals the fallout of this event, but the flashback is written in past tense instead of perfect past. The main throughline narrative has long since left that event behind.

Ok, how Libby would escape a room warded specifically to counter her magic was the question, right? And I’m 4 pages into the aftermath of her escape, waiting for Blake to explain how… I don’t think she will.

“This is too much volatility for one morning. Think of the ozone layer.” Reminder that Nico and Libby’s control over cosmic energies is so absolute that they actually could reverse climate change with their minds.
