 one might think that just because i'm a critrole fan that i'd be more lenient in rating this novel. my biases were cancelled out though because if i were to put the twins in a CR PC tier list, they would be in tier D or C at most.

so, already they were not my favourite characters to be reading about. add to that the prose style that is average at best and at the very least i found it not compelling to read. the author is prone to over-explaining sentiments that can easily be figured out, so long as the reader is paying some attention.

and like. okay. it was pretty brazen to use only quotations from the novel on the back cover, but the quotation used ("and whatever happens, we'll always be together, right?" / "always. and no matter what happens.") has nothing going for it--and even crosses the territory of incomprehensible. but that might have been a book design issue. 

unbearable. and why should i try and bear it? this book means nothing to me.

I hate to say it, but i knew something like this would happen. i bought this book more than a decade ago back when my interests truly bent in this form of history---but now evolutionary history isn't necessarily my jam anymore. the fact that i own this book puts a damper in the feeling of dropping it, whereas if this had been a library book, i'd be careless and not care so much. 

but. such things do happen, and i can't fault past me for not reading it sooner.
