My personal opinion is that TLH characters just feel more real than others and this is the result of Cassie developing her writing. Years pass, Cassie’s audience grows and I’m really happy that her books sorta “grow” with us? Dude idk why thinking in English is so hard😞 if it was a Russian platform, I’d slay😤So! Cassie added mature topics before, some of the TMI moments were really dark, but the way these topics are written/handled is just getting better. I’ll be completely satisfied the day Cassie’s books have around 1200 pages ☝🏻or more😡 And maybe since I’m reading pretty fast, especially when it comes to Cassie’s books, I can finish this whole book in a day. (Arianna deserved as many pages as Thomastair, MAYBE EVEN MORE I SAID WHAT I SAID).

Maybe it’s because my personal favs had less pages than something else, but it’s just me. The way it was written feels different, but I like this particular change.Īnd for some reason this book feels shorter than the first 2. The way the whole Matthew’s alcoholism situation was handled, Grace’s regrets, Cordelia’s depression, Thomas trying to find the healthiest ways to build his relationship with Alastair, Charles’s fears and lack of confidence in himself and everything around, James and Matthew’s moments in Edom. Yes, I certainly feel the same about the different vibe. Downworlders clapping for so long their hands start bleeding, mothers singing lullabies to empty prams😳 Oh oh I should mention that I absolutely loved the “Dark London” part with everyone losing their minds. Everything seemed really dark through their eyes till chapter 23, I haven’t felt this level of depression and hopelessness for a long time. You’re absolutely right about James’s perspective but I’d also add Cordelia’s.
