The first 25%-30% of this book I found quite boring, it took me longer to read this section than the rest of the book. It started to pick up a lot more with
My other main criticism of this book, but not as much as the first point is
I definitely recommend this book for people who liked ACOTAR. I think the overarching conspiracy theories are very engaging once you start to get into it. I will say that a lot of the twists were very easily predictable for me, but YMMV. I think this book was really used to set up a lot for the rest of the series, so just try to get through it if you find parts boring because I have a feeling more exciting things are in the future. I finished the book today, and the ending had a twist I actually was not expecting at all that was left as a cliffhanger. If anything, it made me happy that I can start the next book asap because I am feeling the same type of excitement that I felt when (ACOTAR/ACOMAF spoilers)

I looooove slow burn and descriptive writing. Really the only negative on this for me is that I could see the plot twist coming, but that wasn't a huge deal to me.
