first book i’ve finished in one sitting in years, meant to only read one chapter before bed and got completely hooked. was enjoyable and tense and didn’t give too much away too soon. only thing was some character interactions could have had a lot more emotion behind them especially with the situations they’re in. overall amazing :)

Pretty good collection of wheelhouse tropes that I can tell you about because they're spoilers. Also really good character explorations, some more meaningful and finished than others.
