Status Updates From The Vanishing Stair (Truly ...

fuck no. not again.

Omg finallyyyy the titular stair comes into play over halfway through the book. Feel like the plot is going to ramp up now! Kinda like how Hayes’s death in the last book actually begun the mystery pretty late in. Also can I just say how much I loved that like two page Halloween party scene? The setting was great and got me seriously craving to be at a fun boarding school like that. But it didn’t last long enough!

David getting punched by a random skater he payed to hit him and posting the video online so that his dad doesn't win the elections, then telling Stevie she moves fast after seeing her with Hunter in Burlington while bleeding will never be unfunny 🥹

Oh my god can we please get some sort of reveal soon?? We’re nearly 200 pages in and therefore halfway and yet we’re still rehashing what happened in book one!! Or just asking the same question for the millionth time about ‘how did Ellie possibly escape here?’ Just when I think something’s gonna happen the scene turns out to be pointless. Like I’m more interested in the mystery of Hunter and Fenton atp…

Feel like this is still very introductory? But not necessarily in a bad way, like I’m having a great time and love the writing (actually laughed aloud a few times!), there’s just not really much mystery solving going on, and when there is, it’s not the fun kind. Might change in the next chapter though. Still love the vibes of this series. Also that Truly Devious reveal scene came so out of nowhere??
