3.0

I found myself saying "yeah we get it, move on" so many times. Honestly it was a great story but frustratingly slow and repetitive. The big revelations were clear throughout the book and i felt like either: Sophia was an absolute idiot for not figuring it out, or Bayron thinks the readers are idiots and needs to spell it out for us.

aplatt's review

I found the plot too predictable and the characters incomplete. I think I might come back to it one day just to finish it, I was just frustrated that the plot had so much potential and it didn’t live up to my expectations.
