OH.
#SPOILERS IN TAGS#i figured out why the last book doesnt fit with the rest of the series#its a very people focussed series. everything can only be achieved with ur family ur family spirit or ur found family#but then#in book 4 thorn and ophelie FUCK OFF to do their own thing and isolate themselves completely#and ykw they dont even do it together. they abandon each other#even when they were on babel before the institute they had ictavio and wolf and blaise and elizabeth mediana so many people#who while they werent exactly family they helped them put the pizzle together#but in book four they remove everyone else from the equation and still expect it to work#which is why the scnee at the end w the animosts feels so fake#bc theyve been surviving all this time without anyone else. why would you need the power of love at a crucial moment#thorn literally says. somethings you have to conquer on your own.#so it feels so off that at the pivotal moment suddenly they arent on their own anymore#so what was the point of the entire isolation arc learning to rely on yourself and no one else did it mean nothing#and THEN after the power of love has saved her (bc remember archie pls)#ophelie sets off on her own AGAIN did she learn nothing#yk in lit class we did this whole thing w shylock that eas like if you removed this element how would that change the story or charcater#and im thinking about it#and removing the latter half of the babel arc wouldnt change the charcter at all.#like#she does not grow at all im not seeing why we had to be subjected to that#and another thing that doesnt sit right with me - thorn did nothing#he found one cabinet of useful information and harmed a child but#everything else the walkalators the labs the translations the visions the train THE CLAWS#like id hesitate to say this about anyone else but thorn was a sexy lamp in the last book#even his speech: i want you to be completely dependent on me - wtf dude i thought u drank ur respect woemn juice#like obvy i still love him to death but#he was done so dirty#anyway#i should have read this last year i would have loved it
