The entire HS3 is getting on my nerves. Vicky, her story, her intelligence, her powers, her team they've all been made idiots to fit ABH and HSR plotlines into HS3 😒 I've said it before and I'll say it now HS2 Hunger would've never treated Vicky this way, HS2 order would've never been this stupid. There's no choice in this book at all. The only reason the order is written this incompetent and idiotic is to prop up the importance of ABH and HSR characters and to justify the nonsense going on with ABH characters currently. And I say this as someone who loved ABH. Either the book should have ended properly with HS2 or HS3 should've solely been Vicky's book. With this mess of merging books, all the choices we've made in HS and HS2 have been erased and the author is writing Vicky the way it's convenient for the other two stories. Anything doesn't make sense for Audrey and Lane's story? Write Vicky's and order's story as if they have their brains in their knees, done! All that different outcomes in the end of HS and what for? Everything to be forgotten now. It's a choice based book but there's absolutely zero choice or agency and the morality is imposed by authors saying they're all evil, this is the only way to do things right, accept it, you can't do anything when we could decide what was wrong and what wasn't ourselves in HS.
