I just caught up with TPN this past weekend. Seems like we're in the endgame of the series. It's in an interesting direction. I think they could have made the big decision with Emma's alternative to Norman's plan if they had done more to humanize larger segments of the demons. There's been so much emphasis on them being monsters and limited focus on their more "human" traits or the relatable parts of their society. So initially, I was like Oh, Emma is being naive and silly. But when I stepped it's also a classic class warfare, toppling the aristocracy story going on, but with the added element of different species makes it further removed. But I can see why you'd be against genocide even against an oppressive case, but they don't initially do a great job with that. Cause at first you're like of course we're riding with Norman, Emma's being stupid.
I think the whole promise with the King could be really interesting. The question is how big of a role will it play in extending the series and if they ever deal with him in a root cause sense. Also it seems like Norman is about to die, so I wonder how that will impact Emma's views on things. Also I need to revisit the Sonju and the little girl demon interaction from the beginning of the series to see if they were deceptive and things are going to come back and haunt Emma.
I think overall it's a good and well written series with an interest direction it's develop. But there are also gaps like the writer didn't want to get into additional details or wanted to speed things up, like Norman's escape from Lambda, all the stuff going on their, more info on Minerva and the Ratari clan, etc. But we might get it later, just post Goldy Pond things went very fast that probably could have been explored more deeply.
I have a feeling Emma's promise may backfire on a technicality too.
