Who would’ve thunk Rose would be my favorite character with how she started but that’s what we call 🌟CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT🌟 apparently the rest of the characters didn’t get that memo.
Rose and Shen were so fun and cute to be around in the story and I’m so glad they kinda just slapped her in the face with the truth instead of trying to lie and sugar coat anything (which makes sense). I feel like this was HER book and nobody else’s truly. Shen is honestly just a good guy like I can’t really say much about him cuz it is what it is. Also love the accent in the audiobook for him 😩
Wren and Tor….yeah.
Wren’s chapters were like the worst filler episodes in a show that you know they’re coming so it makes you drag getting through Rose’s chapters so I didn’t have to read her. She was just context for the book she truly didn’t have any character development that I can tell (if I’m wrong lmk). Imma bring it up everytime WHAT TRAINING DID SHE DO SO I KNOW WHAT NOT TO DO…she’s a terrible spy they set her up for failure. Which Banba was kinda a parallel to Rothwhateverthefuck especially the inner voice moments. Tor was useless truly until the end 😂 never liked him and still don’t so they’re gonna try and change that next book cuz I suspect book 2 is gonna be Wrens/Tors character development book which I’m not excited about in the slightest.
Honorable mentions:
ANSEL buddy rip they did you so dirty 😂😂
The wolf thingie was cute (I neeed fanart)
Alarick remember rose is still a child technically 🔫
