this book is stressing me out!

so this book honestly expects me to believe that no one’s going to realize aphrodite is a fake fledgling?

also if neferet is such a good mind reader why hasn’t she discovered stevie rae is back?

and if neferet can’t read her friends minds (watch it be like because of their elemental affinities or something like every kid with powers is just magically immune to mind reading or whatever) then isn’t keeping secrets from them pointless and also exactly what got zoey in trouble with them in the first place???
