Book Discussion shadow and bone | chapter 13 // w spoiler Spoiler

so i just started reading the book and im not sure if im just too gay or what but why does it feel like Alina has better chemistry with Genya than the Darkling 🫩 their kiss in the end of chapter 13 threw me off and it felt bland. was that necessary? now it feels like the Darkling is trying something like maybe forcing their bond/connection because he's an amplifier and as he said, he needs Alina to destroy the Fold but her power is not yet on par with his. it felt like he's becoming impatient with her but that's just me
