You know that term Popcorn-Movie? This is definitely a popcorn book. Easy to read to read quickly and fun. It’s definitely a “if you liked ZA you’ll definitely like this” sort of series so far- except here everyone is more nuanced and make more sense and the motivations/plot feel more logical too. Basically, just much less zany.

Oli is darkly enjoyable to read and I really enjoyed how much emphasis was put on deep female friendships here, v refreshing! Buuuut then there was also a lot of internalized misogyny that came out in all the characters that was (for me) a bit off putting every time. So just a real fun mix.

Everything moves so fast that any emotional moments or any time for introspection are just blazed by. Did that thing matter?? Who can say. I guess the interactions of all the characters are fascinating enough though that I am hooked, and will keep reading.

If I had to pick a fave character rn it’d be Atlas.

I devoured this. Read it in maybe 1/2 a day. The author sets up the mysteries around Oleander with skill and I could not out it down. The tension with all of her Bonds is exquisite and I am not sure who I am rooting for. Love the friendship with Sage and hope to see her saga develop further in subsequent books. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
