"I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of" - Jared, probably

I really enjoy this series. I enjoy the slow, slow build for 200 pages that just lead to whiplash for the last 40. I like how much Jared so desperately just wants to not be involved with everything that happens around him and (eventually) to him. I really like Jared as a character, and I think it's because he gives off quiet himbo vibes, and I love himbos in media. He's kind, caring, and just one of the most dense people I've ever read about. Part of it is because he's in denial, but part of it is because he's simply not the brightest like
the first few times he met Shu he thought she was just in zombie makeup he's so dumb i love him


I'm looking forward to the next book (which I have to wait for ugh). I'm curious how the pacing is going to differ in the next book, because where we left off was... well, I don't know how much Jared can ignore the supernatural anymore.
