Off rip he has a Pink concubine slave outside of the war games where maybe enslavement was normalized. Now he's just fully indulging in the hierarchy established by the Golds, while simultaneously invoking the name of his dead wife and boning Mustang. Trash protagonist, I'm not rooting for him lol.

"Brutality" is not an adjective, Pliny.

Darrow getting cold feet about suicide bombing an awfully convenient once-per-decade gala where all the top brass Golds will be is lame – is he about this ish or not!

While you partied I studied the blade

also retconning that he did study with Lorn au Arcos despite turning him down after graduating the institute is dumb.

Never tell me the odds

Dude give me a break. Also hahahahaha I just realized hat Brown calls them Obsidians because he won't call a group of people Blacks.

Continued slaughter of women and children purely for shock factor about how evil some of the characters are 1) loses its value and 2) is so frustrating when Darrow seems to forget/forgive because the murderers are his friends. Gross. This book is even more of the "boo hoo my friends are upset about how I'm trying to dissolve the class hierarchy" – why are they your friends then, bitch?!

He's such a coward for visiting his mum and losing mustang, he calls all these people his friends friends and lovers when he can't trust any of them. Mustang acting as if titus was the only rapist at the institute is stupid rhetoric, and also acting as though shes's loyal to family over everything after bedding Cassius – she's also a trash protagonist dayum.
