Maybe it’s because I am getting more jaded, but… the FMC was absolutely amazing – when she wasn’t a victim of the author’s timeline or psychology issues.
If someone is spiraling for 8 years, their life would be very different. Also, how she reacted to death – while seeing a therapist – is one thing, but resolution is another. Given how she views life and everything else, this is some serious Jekyll and Hyde. Which is fine, if consistent. Or she has moments of logical clarity.
Aside from timeline weirdness and a world traveler who hasn’t had any kind of philosophical shift and the unresolved childhood shadiness from MMC, this was really good. Powerful female character.
I dunno, I think I’m done with the series because there are SUCH GOOD moments in each book – accurate, relatable in the emotions – only to have mediocre parts break it. I get so hopeful and so let down.
