SP MIDNIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD:
So I finished Midnight within two days even though I was supposed to be revising and had so many emotions
Some of my favourite things:
• Omen Darkly. Just...the lovely wholesome Omen Darkly who deserves so much love I wish people would appreciate him
• THE RETURN OF TANITH LOW
• Militsa Gnosis being extremely queer (Derek give the woman a girlfriend)
• The refugees, the protestors, the “religious freedom act,” the Donald Trump caricature - basically all the very subtle parallels drawn between a society that is by all accounts totally bizarre and our own, showing how prejudice is propagated even in a magical society; a fantastical commentary on the pitfalls of our own universe
• Auger Darkly actually being a nice person to his brother even though he’s so hugely revered (would have been easy to make him an asshole but I really like Nice Auger)
• Anton Shudder’s ex boyfriend (I just wish he wasn’t dead)
• The crazy creativity of Gant’s house and the inception at the end, like....I’m sorry how did he think of that it was such an ingenious setting
• TANITH IS BACK MY FAV IS BACK
• Valkyrie’s pure and unbridled anger when Alice is taken manifesting in the bar scene where she just punches everyone - somehow it isn’t gratuitous violence and you can feel how emotionally charged she is through the page
• Temper Fray. I love that man
• THE SECRET SON OMG is Caisson really Skul’s son like holy hell there’s no way of knowing
• Melissa Edgley’s unwavering understanding and live of her daughter even though knowing what she does and how dangerous her life is visibly upsets her
• Give Militsa Gnosis a girlfriend. And let it be Tanith oh dear God let it be Tanith
• Even more gay just make it even gayer
• More Dead Men (or what’s left of them anyway)
• I really just one someone to punch Ipsolin in the face
• Never and Omen’s relationship becoming more symbiotic
• Omen starting to find confidence in himself and understanding his worth as a person, not as the Chosen One’s insignificant little brother
• Abyssinia’s child army rising up against her that would be so satisfying
• Someone gotta put China back in her place cuz that lady is out of control who is she
• More of a caring side to Never, I love their sass but I wanna see that soft side I know it’s in there bb
Feel free to add on to these :3
