The storyline was original and interesting because others besides Rowe knew his character at the fundraiser was a fake and it was just too delightful to witness. ![]() I thought the writing style was wonderful and I quickly became immersed in the story of Bash and Rowe. I've read next to nothing by Lucy Lennox before, but after this book, that will quickly change. ![]() 6/8/2023 0 Comments Fangirl volume 3![]() ![]() The audiences are considering this as a major hint on an upcoming mission aka a possible sequel. ![]() ![]() ![]() This scene is followed by a tag, that read 'the Legendary Star-Lord will return'.
