Reign of Darkness

This review contains spoilers not tagged. There are too many to tag. It's like a speech but 90% of it is bleep bleep bleep.

Wtf???

For God's sake how many times will one of them need saving?????

This is not a coherent review. I have not slept.

The betrayal is too much! It's too fucking much. Can one of them please escape the constant betrayal, even from Vasili wtf. Hello. Hello! Look the first time it's interesting but when it happens at every point and from EVERY SINGLE PERSON OMG. HOW IS IT THAT EVERYONE IS A TRAITOROUS SNAKE? I don't get it. Every single person, I mean every single fucking person, has betrayed Niko at least once. Literally. Can this man catch a BREAK? 

Also Niko I love you but Vasili is toxic. Find yourself a nice man and a nice cabin in the woods. For fuck's sake.

Amir's dead. I'm supposed to cheer after my last review but I just feel sorry for him. Why are the elves even here...just to suffer?

I can't believe this. Vasili OMG you fucking fuck fuck you so much. Niko pls leave him. No wait rescue him one more time then leave him. Jesus Christ. Toxicity everywhere. Going to read a nice untoxic book after I finish inhaling this series. Nah who am I kidding probably going to read her other books too because I ENJOY SUFFERING.

This would be 4.5 stars but -1 for
- his lips ticked. Omg it was said six times and that's six times too much. What is that even? Twitching?
- the constant needing to be rescued. Oh lord. Rescue missions are nice. Once. AT MOST twice. And that's maybe not in the same book.
- still no “fuck yeah” moment from either Vasili or Niko for me. Gotta give me one of these man. Niko came close, but he wasn't himself so it wasn't quite it. I was more worried for him than cheering him on.
- Vasili. Fuck this snake. Poisonous snake. Jesus.

Also the end was so chaotic I forgot how furious I was with the way they kept hurting each other at the beginning and middle.
“I don't care about you.”
“Haha me neither. I hate you too.”
“You hate me? You must be fucking other people.”
“Why do you care? Fuck you. Also I-“
“Lemme cut you off right there before you tell me how you really feel. I would like to continue assuming you hate me thank you very much.”

On to the next book!
(So effing glad it's only a trilogy)

Edit: I was reading someone else's review and they mentioned the keys thing being confusing and yeah. I just steadily ignore any explanations of the jinni and three families thing. Hopefully by book 3 someone'll explain it better.
