i love me a fantasy that has me mentally connecting characters/plot points with red string, especially when it is related to time loops, obsessed. i also appreciate the author just providing a summary of book 1 at the start and moving straight into book 2 plot. i also love how you develop expectations, have them subverted, make NEW expectations and bam, same thing happens again :')

A tad confusing at the beginning with the introduction of several new characters in a new setting, this one felt more difficult to grasp, however, once the dots started connecting so did all the branched storylines. The giant corkboard of timelines and red thread finally got its pins in place and it was magnificent--and a testament to the author's own all-knowing corkboard keeping track of things at home. There's still a few unanswered mysteries, and some absolute horrors, in here, but I'm excited to discover the rest in the finale.

After I recover from the two blood-splatter craters of horror that were Malar and Meelan's deaths😫.
