I’m why why He Him is not capitalized when the Catholic is referencing God.

It’s 1907 and this low-middle class Esme has more perks than a Jane Austen character.

Well, that seems inappropriate.

I get it: the author wants to imprint an impression with that vague sentence instead of nurturing understanding.

Dear author, when is it the “right” moment to let go of a handshake?

I am not looking forward to the midpoint shift where Esme becomes an active participant in her own life.

Why not have a conversation or a warning? Messed up.

Book doesn’t make it clear the consequences and life of an unwed mother is different in 1906 than it is in 2022.

Boo.

The author better not chicken-out.

This book is completely off topic and I’m ok with it. Please tell me it’ll vear off into the topic of Abortions in 1906.

Bill is an odd bird, isn’t he? But at least we’re finally getting some risk in the story.

Every story needs a pretty person, i guess.

People sure are sweet and gregarious in this town. Strangers talking to you about Cunts and Opportunistic Prostitutes and then inviting you to tea.

Twenty year old woman learns the world has profanity.

Ok, it looks like we have a goal. But what’s the tension?

So she’s 19 and got a desk at the Scriptorium, but I don’t understand. Does she want to be a philologist? A lexicographers?

Ok. So she’s leaving. The Heros Journey Arc

Uninteresting: Arousing little or no interest (great attention and concern from someone or something) ; boring or uneventful (lacking significant or noteworthy events).

Again, we learned why Walls are a dumb solution to a problem.

There’s no tension here because you already told us in the flash forward of the previous chapter that he’s fine.

There’s always a man threatening to destroy the world for you…err, the Main Character, I mean.

Sad Superman is sad.

Small little vague references to the other plotline.

How can Tonkee use her familie’s absurd wealth to find her if Tonkee was disowned?

A lot of Wonder but little Plot, except a murderous Government and a few volcanos.

Impulsively-using-your-superpower-plot.

Now Pirates?

I can already tell we’re not going to get a complete resolution.

Sex with the Natives trope. Ugh.
