*3.5

I enjoyed this - I liked seeing how the world developed before the main trilogy, I liked the darker tone… but I guess I’m a little hung up on certain aspects?

The gratuitous use of SA seemed to be a bit much at times. It was often thrown in to show us how bad a character was. You can use methods other than SA to show us a character is bad or evil. And it really doesn’t need to be described, especially when there are kids involved??

Idk overall this just made me a little sad. Poor Elyssa :(
