4.0

My CAWPILE score: 7.07 (so just hit 4 star range!)

This was soooooo much better than Siege and Storm imo and I really enjoyed my time with most of it!

I was really glad that there was a portion of the plot here that subverted my expectations!
The ending does involve one of my least favourite tropes though so I wish it had gone very differently! Here's hoping that it's one of the elements that the adaptation ends up changing!
