a. i both like and heavily dislike the pacing of this book - the actual meat of the plot as a whole seems to be happening past the 350 page mark. a bit late for the main plot to kick in? possibly.

b. i've changed my mind - i love eliana and i hate rielle.

c. a pairing in this book seems very fake/forced.

d. "what we need is a diversion." the west wall exploded. "well," she said cheerfully. "that will work."

xenization.’s Previous Updates

xenization.
xenization. is finished
a. when i say that the chapters get shorter towards the end, i mean some are three bloody pages short.

b. well, i was right about something in a previous update, just not in the way i originally thought.

c. simon's devotion is really creepy when i think that he was, what, 8 when she was literally 10 minutes old. some interactions don't sit right anymore knowing that.

a. ayy, i was right. go me.

b. i'm starting to enjoy this more than i was at the start, so i'll most likely pick up the sequels, but i don't think this is ever gonna be my favourite series. maybe top 10 at a push?

c. i don't know why, but i love fictional creatures. they just make a story so much better so i'm all for this godsbeast idea and i hope they play a bigger role in the sequels.

a. i think i've figured out one of the plot twists and all it took was me rereading the first page. if what i think is actually correct then i am proud of myself.

b. if legrand was going for that "wait, hold on, i recognise this" type throwback to the start, she put too much inbetween the start and that moment. i didn't even notice it.

c. i'm really not one for all of the innuendos but hey, that's ya for you.

a. despite how negative my updates have been, i can't stop questioning what will happen next whenever i'm not reading this book. oddly unsettling.

b. i really haven't concentrated on these four chapters and will probably have to re-read them - i just couldn't find the right music to listen to for it.

c. "don't worry, i stabbed them. the jellyfish, not the waterworkers. though that's still a possibility."

a. unfortunately i didn't read much today, i prioritised gilmore girls. it's a good show, sue me.

b. i need to stop talking about povs but rielle's is slowly (and i mean slowly) growing on me.

c. i like ludivine, but i feel like i shouldn't trust her.

d. the start of this book could have been flipped. it was a fast paced start with a very sluggish middle and end. it could have been distributed better.

a. i'm a sucker for a good fight scene. operative word being "good". rielle's fight felt very cluttered and i struggled to picture any of it. eliana's though? damn.

b. i seem to have developed the odd habit of only being able to put this down if i've read at least two chapters, ending on eliana's.

c. sigh. this feels so predictable.

d. the split perspective thing isn't for me. eliana's pov spoils rielle's pov.

a. sigh. looks like we're going for the.. checks notes "i'm not like other princesses - look at me be rebellious" trope today.

b. i hate eliana. saying that, i prefer her perspective to rielle's.

c. i hated the start of this so much - it was too much too soon. nothing is being explained and is really confusing. i can see a dnf happening if things don't pick up. my own fault for hyping it up too much.
