a friend said they didn't expect a third book in the alex stern series (and i don't know if anything's been officially confirmed or not, i don't really keep up with authors so correct me if i'm wrong) but there's just no way bardugo would leave us with so many unanswered questions and things to look forward to
what's going to happen to demon tripp (how does that work again? because he's not like darlington, who's bound in service to alex and has some sort of humanity/ability to change between forms, since tripp became a demon in an entirely different way), will he have to eventually start feeding on people's blood or emotions? who's telling his family?
cosmo the cat (what exactly is he? not a salt spirit, a familiar? how and why? it's not even that important i'm just personally very intrigued because he reminds me of that cute alien cat in the captain marvel movies that turns up a monstrosity with like a million tentacles inside its mouth)
reiter is still out there and alex pretty much vowed to avenge michelle at one point - i want a first row seat ("She would teach Reiter what real pain tasted like. It was all she could offer this girl she’d barely known. Vengeance that came too late, and prayers spoken in fire.")
darlingstern confession when?? what's going on here like i get the slow burn but it's about damn time come on
darlington's map of new haven magic as his graduate project or whatever!! i need that for my mental health idc, also dawes finally finishing her tarot card thesis
i want confirmation that my theory about turner's "prickle" is actually true and there's magic involved
what's happening with mercy and alex's friendship? we also know lauren, alex and mercy will be looking for a new dorm next year
we don't quite know enough about alex's father or grandma, let alone exactly what she is, like at first we only knew she saw grays and they could under specific circumstances touch her, then she learnt she can let them in, eat their souls, "bond" them like the bridegroom, she can hear them now, she can move freely (how freely?) between realms like?? what exactly is a wheelwalker again?
biggest one: um?? they left the door to hell open y'all, and things escaped: “That thing is the first,” Darlington said. “It won’t be the last. We have to find a way to shut the door for good, to seal the Gauntlet before the demons figure out how to keep it open.”
