Well I can’t say I hated it but I won’t say it’s good lol. Obviously the first reason being the weird need for Dev to force himself on Rowell. I was just confused. Did Dev think, “He’ll fall in love with me and give me power,” or something? I dunno, it was just a clumsy excuse to get them “at it” in my opinion. Second, pairing everyone up like that at the end is both nauseating (on many levels) and so unnecessary. I get the desire to tie up loose ends, but to resolve it all with “romance” is so cringey, especially given the master/slave dynamic. I guess I could read more but I doubt there is any retribution for enslaving people. Seems like the Pels just got richer and the tiny rebel group was immediately vanquished lol. At the end, it’s cute I guess. Overwhelmingly, however, it feels indulgent on behalf of the racists.
