Children of Blood and Bone was pretty good and the ending was like personal fanservice for me, but the worldbuilding was pret-ty sketchy and in particular there's this really big problem with the conception of how the death maji, the Reapers, work
except that after a few establishing shots of Reaper powers operating in contexts where a lot of death had happened, they're then shown being used entirely at will. just calling up animations (dead people moving around some inanimate matter briefly) whenever and wherever

which, uh, means Reapers are constantly surrounded by souls in torment — who they're letting stew in their juices because the Reapers don't need anything from them right now. Reapers are basically The Ones Who Purchase Kilowattage From Omelas. not so fluffy now
