I don't know if this series is going to work for me, because at this point, I seriously dislike all the guys. I loathe their condescending bullshit. I loathe that they happily take every goddamn thing in Sawyer's life away from her, disregard anything she wants, her choices, her free will.

I like Sawyer a lot. But there's only so much I can tolerate her self-loathing allowing her to accept their treatment of her. And don't get me wrong, the self-loathing is understandable ... she's been through s I don't know if this series is going to work for me, because at this point, I seriously dislike all the guys.

I like Sawyer a lot. But there's only so much I can tolerate her self-loathing allowing her to accept their treatment of her. And don't get me wrong, the self-loathing is understandable ... she's been through some shit, and she's been forced to make choices no one could make and still feel happy with themselves.

But fuck those guys on their high horse judging her, as if they have any right. Fuck them for demanding that the law be held as unbreakable and sacred, from their stupidly easy position - as agents, they are literally unregulated. Magi don't even have any basic human or civil rights. So it's fucking easy to argue that someone ELSE should have to obey the law when the law doesn't apply to you at all.

I don't know that I'm going to be able to come around on them. I think they all fucking suck. Except Quinn, mostly. But that's just not enough. They treat her like the scum of the earth, and she accepts it like it's her due. They take her home, her friends, her family, her life, her money, her choices, her ability to defend herself - (view spoiler) - and they force her to live the life of their choosing.

I don't know why she stays with them. And it's going to be hard to swallow, especially when we get her full story and we find out that none of it - NONE OF IT - was her fault at all. Of course, they still judge her for it, because they are dickheads. And the magical organization still happily wants to kill her, even though the only reason they caught Axel is her. And her self-loathing, now that we know the truth of what happened, isn't going to justify her allowing this to go on much longer.

I guess we'll see. ...more
