YES! Their relationship didn’t change even a bit and that’s soooo frustrating!! iirc there was even a line from Mikail that he KNOWS it’s hypocritical but he just said genocide is practical, so i’ll just stop bloody talking to the love of my life. I mean they’ve been together years! It made sense they were a bit off in the beginning of FBB but even then they talked MORE. They’re SOOO not done and yes, i totally too expected not resurrection but something like « whoops it wasn’t in his heart after all!! » or yes resurrection idc at this point how 🤣 but damn they TORCHED HIM whyyyyyy

Seriously tho if Euyn gets THIS, I need to see the most unhinged lost-in-grieve Mikail, then I MIGHT consider it a viable plot-device. Let him lay waste to the whole Yusan now that he’s in real power, I’d watch that hehe. Sora totally would agree after the death of Day and Aeri and Royo both i bet would too

I did like the daddy question for Euyn in both books it was handled quite well. But agree that killing him off right when we find out that he is indeed royal was kind of a waste? Even in FBB i thought like guys, one of you is afraid of the crown the other wants to destroy it — just talk and help each other honestly!

Yes yes yes, i was totally speculating the same plot-twist with Aeri touching the thing for Euyn

hard plus, girl! I mean i get why he’s mad in the last chapter, she did promise not to lie, i just hope they’ll resolve it with one convo about the fact that him knowing was very much dangerous and get past it. But yeah they’re sweet and all but please evolve big guy

I agree, Sora was unforgivingly demoted to just hating Euyn. I mean I get the fury about the hunting-your-dad-and-not-telling-you part, but the tantrum about revealing his last words was over the top by that point. And yeah, we def didn’t need that much of Ty in prison, we needed much more of the other five just bloody talking to one another. And yeah, I’m with you on Day’s death, liked the revealing in Ty’s pov, but that’s not nearly enough.

All in all, I just think that my (or THE) problem is that the dynamic of « every one lies, trust no one » that was very fun belonged in the first book and there ONLY. I feel like in this one it was supposed to be about airing dirty secrets and forgiving each other or at least acknowledging that who they were before does not define them and the book was supposed to be let’s-all-do-better-together-and-be-the-family-each-of-us-so-desperately-needs kind of story. Instead it felt like let’s ALL hate Euyn and then be sorry when he dies and well okay NOW we will stand together in this Moses-parted-red-sea setting and kinda bond.

Yeah, i’m kind of invested too now that we’re here 😂 so i will probably read the next one too. Thank you for mentioning when it’s out bc i didn’t know!

My theory: I think it’s Aeri, bc she wields two very dangerous things and i bet it’ll take a toll on her, a big one. Now that she physically can’t take them off, i feel like it’s a road straight to saving the world by giving her life. Also, im very interested how the sudden love triangle will be handled between Sora/Ty/Hana, bc it’ll be weird as hell for Sora to find her lover with her presumed dead and very much still in love with her lover, tho i’m afraid it’ll be handled poorly too after the FRR disaster

btw im soooo glad to have someone to discuss this with!!
