1. Look, the hitting the glass scene was excellent and I love the many nods to the adrenaline cousins being adrenaline cousins. I even appreciate stupid plans, because it's not like their last couple of plans were not dumb (CHILDREN) but I draw the line at plot convenient suicide-missions for the sake of giving Tobias a chance to save the gang.

2. I mean, Tobias is pretty goddamned hardcore as it is. (the badass birb comments were only numerically second to the adrenaline cousins comments in my notes) I feel like maybe concentrating on that would have been better than giving him an action subplot he's maybe not all that suited for? Idk.

3. There is also WAY more Rachel/Tobias stuff in here than I expected.

4. I love Rachel because she is a badass but also because she knows how to be emotionally supportive WHILE giving space to people. You go girl. Also the idea of Rachel and Cassie desperately trying to figure out something to do to make Tobias feel a bit better about the whole Clusterfuck was sweet.

5. Hey Tobias look on the bright side! You may be a bird having to live off rats but at least you have people who genuinely give a fuck if you live or die now. Yay?

6. On a more serious note, there's a lot of stuff in this book indicating Tobias grappling with the depression of his transformation and latching on to saving the world as a coping mechanism. Which makes sense because Human!Tobias also latched on to saving the world as a coping mechanism. This kid is a depressed kid with no aim in life if I ever saw one. I feel you, dude.
