😭😭😭😭

ngl my original rating for this book was a 3* and this review annoyed me so much I bumped it up to 4*

It went on to be still rather obnoxious after this but this was really the key bit that had me hitting my head on a wall. It's a fairly old review, so I'm wondering if the author would ever look back at it and cringe at how much they really just wanted to hear themselves talk. And, for those who haven't read the book, those comparisons are a biiiiig stretch - they mention Batman being influenced by their previous entry and I just want to be like...you are so close. You are So Close To Understanding What Happened Here.

I guess they would know something about superfluous word usage (the entire lengthy review was like this)

I recall a radio interview of the author who said that she would not wish to live in the citadels she created in the book: "Because there are no men in them."
