Disliked

i really didn't like the snippets of the fan fiction in here like actually reading them i was not enjoying them at all and so every time i came up it really disturbed my reading experience

Loved

it packs a punch for a very short book and it is a very well done extended metaphor and just amazing commentary on this idea of like stories and generational trauma and the way that we carry sort of that as part of culture

Mixed

there are still things in here that i think are done well the found family is a big one i really love the found family at the heart of this and the sort of idea of like flip-flopping the villain and the hero

Liked

i really enjoyed all of the elements of the storytelling here we had a great discussion about it at booknet fest but everything i wanted out of this was like more time with each characters and more just book in order to make it feel truly multi-generational which it is
