what can i say, it's a tumblr darling for a reason. that being said, the trigger warnings in this are batshit crazy please please please do not read this series (but like this book even more than the last one) without knowing what they are. 
zoo wee mama this was a sequel. unlike most 2nd books in trilogies, this somehow managed to be more insane than the last one? which i guess shouldn't have surprised me given the reputation these books have but still. zoo wee mama. the plot is bonkers but somehow makes sense? like of course neil does what he does because he's a nineteen-year-old fight-loving flight risk who has very quickly formed extremely codependent relationships with his teammates.
i continue to be the biggest andrew apologist of all time, but if i'm being honest all the foxes are so special to me like they're giving found family they're giving trauma bonding they're giving everything. yes they've all done objectively terrible things but do i care? not usually. i love that both sides of the team are finally getting to be friends with each other, and i can't wait to see how they react to
neil coming home from evermore manor beat to shit with all of his disguises removed.

bring on the third book, i can't wait for it to be even crazier than this one was.
