I would’ve enjoyed a few more pages to expand some detail so it’s less rushed. The ending is good but would’ve loved what was being set up instead of it.

Loved this little book, will be picking up the rest of the series! My only complaint was there was a lot of high level vocabulary that I had to look up, and there were a few scenes or segways that felt very rushed through. That being said, it was a very interesting introduction to this world and series. I found each character unique and intriguing, and I appreciated that they all had different stories for the doors they walked into (whether I liked them or not). Loved the diversity too - ace/aro and trans main characters. Look forward to continuing!

Do you sometimes ask yourself if an author is mad? Well, that was the impression that this book left on me. I am honestly very confused and I do not know if it is the good or the bad kind. Maybe it is because I did not really get the moral of the story or I just did not pay enough attention. Either way, if you want to read a book where you end up asking yourself about what you actually read just now, this is the perfect book for you. Enjoy, or do not. 

Regards,
Katherine
