- i personally think keefe is a poor friend to fitz who is also not the best friend to him or sophie. however i also think that for both boys, it makes a lot of logical sense. it makes them interesting rather than hatable.
- i unironically think the council is more problematic than the neverseen. yeah, the neverseen kill people, but the council just kicks children into the wilderness and locks people in their own madness.
- i think alvar is a really weird villain because if he wanted to take down his family, let him want that. but he for some reason has beef with his baby brother. at the same time, i do think he’s a fun addition to the plot.
- i think marella was kinda horrible to dex and sophie when she started hanging out with stina 💔 i get she was going through stuff but it still was a pretty mean thing to do. so i kinda like that their friendship hasn’t been the same since.
- i have no idea why the council chose the animals they did for team valiant’s pins. this deeply bothers me.
- i don’t mind having 1000s of books. more please mamma messenger.
- i like the novellas too. unravel has GAY people and i actually think unlocked is quite interesting.
- i’m really hesitant to judge keefe’s arc until it’s done. especially his powers since gisela isn’t done using him.
- iggy should eat a villain. idc which one.
- i think matchmaking is much more messed up than sophie acts like it is. she’s mildly uncomfortable with it, but it makes me deeply angry and violent.
- i don’t sophie chooses not to sleep in a funny tehe way. i think she can’t sleep cause trauma (i think that’s a more pinterest idea but whatever)
- the elves dying to guilt is an effective restriction on them which definitely helps with power scaling.
- alden is a former corrupt cop who uses children. i have little sympathy for him because he locked a father in his own mind for decades. prentice isn’t still the same and im still mad.
- stina is an interesting character. i want to know why she’s mean and bitter. i support her getting worse.
- ALSO i really love rayni. i know a lot of people don’t like her, but i think she’s very fascinating.
- forcing children to be cognates is weird. like really weird. especially when they’re exs.
- sophie and dex should both kiss more people. just not each other.
most of these are opinions which i can easily understand why others would have different interpretations and views. the only ones that are objectively correct are the ones about iggy eating people and dex and sophie not kissing one another.
