Love this review!! I typed a longer comment agreeing w/ your point about wanting more character depth but I'm tech-challenged and lost it--but yes in that vein I wondered while reading AoM myself if it would've been helpful for Ellis to have stretched out the flirtation/will-they-won't-they thing between Cora and Paris. Maybe I'm just partial to that kind of storyline lol but I do think maybe seeing Cora in a slightly lower stakes, more "human" conflict i.e. "does she like me??" could've added depth and maybe a touch of whimsy to an otherwise tragic character. Paris too I feel like we might've learned more about if it took them longer to get together? Idk! Anyway I subscribed and love quickie reviews like this, ty for making it!
Glad you liked it! Yeah, it felt like Ellis was regretting killing off a love interest in the last book, so she wrote in another with almost an assumption the reader would slot Paris into that role smoothly
