...The change up in the final chapter is honestly crazy. Genuinely don't know if I will land up reading the next book(s) but, if I do, I know it's purely for Sasha and Alyosha and Morozko. ...And, perhaps, to see how much more of a scum Konstantin continues to be.

Oh my gosh what even is escalating now? 😨

Too much is happening too fast :( I really can't keep track anymore.

...okay I'm scared now. Scared for Vasya, scared for Anna, scared of Konstantin...

NOOOO ending the chapter (and this entire section) on that note should be illegal >:(

...Have a feeling that if Vasya does somehow manage to bring snowdrops back, she'll simply be carted off because there is definitive enough proof she's a witch in their eyes :\

It is... a bit unsettling, the pacing. It feels like everything has escalated so quickly in the past chapter, compared to the deceiving lull of the chapters before that.

...Not gonna lie, I'm not completely enjoying this anymore, but I will finish this series purely because I am still intrigued at the concept. ...Not because I want more Sasha and Aloysha and Morozko page time, certainly not.

...Okay, yup, Konstantin really makes me sick.

Needed to mention this somewhere before I forget to do so: absolutely love Alyosha, too. He and Sasya are the only two of Vasya's siblings I like (the rest are heavily debatable). I have no more sympathy to possess for Anna, and Pyotr is getting on my nerves. Dunya... she's fine, for the most part. And then Konstantin creeps the absolute hell out of me. And good riddance to Kyril.

...why do I have this nagging feeling that Konstantin is in love with Vasya? idk what exactly, but something about his interactions with her unsettle me greatly.

Also boo, have yet to see Sasya return.
