god all of a sudden two months have gone by. time is not moved well in this book.

sorry i didnt comment at the time but the fact her main thing is flexibility makes it even dumber that when she was doing a badjob kicking or whatever she was like "i wasnt flexible enough bc of my stiff thigh" also the big age gap makes making her an acrobat/gymnast even yuckier

"there had been food tasters on staff for 15 years" Ok so when the revolution happened she was 4. so AT THE YOUNGEST if he was a SUPER DUPER SPY TEEN he would have been like 16 during the revolution, BUT far more likely was mid 20s. so there is a like. 12-20 year age gap between them at the SMALLEST GUESSTIMATE. okay cool great. he reads like a haggard old man not like a destined lover.

"the power twins" ohh i know she wanted to make a fucking wonder twins joke so bad. also once more we are nearly HALFWAY done with this book, and we are still doing first quarter type plot points. i was going to give the book credit for keeping it slowburn but like. we just went from zero to "wow he fights beautifully i miss him" etc type things

ari and janco are truly interchangeable characters, they keep almost having their own set of traits and then they basically swap. i feel like theirs only two of them so they wont be a duelling love interest to valek. same reason why rand hasnt been as present as he could have been, and had a forced in 'btw he likes the seamstress' deal

oh i forgot the whole reason i came to comment earlier: she struggles to do five laps but effortlessly is able to grapple from treetop to treetop for an entire day??????? these things are in the wrong order, start working your strength back up and develop a mild rapport w two of the nicer soldiers and Then use it against them by hiding in trees

somehow only halfway in despite it feeling like we should be entering the final act and also that nothing has happened. i am not going to continue w this series lol. IF i had been able to find the alt pov one i would have read that but aw well too bad

"look he can be nice to a child" okay well his assigned labor shit sucks and he murders magic kids so.

"your better fighting hand to hand than w a weapon you cant use" i dont Necessarily disaree but i would say like attack to injure than run, not "fight hand to hand" lol

*girl who constantly has people trying to connect w her voice* who would ever want to connect with me :(
