kell_xavi's review against another edition
5.0
Very good writing, complex and engrossing parallel plot lines, unique characters, interesting politics and world-building. I'll reserve judgment otherwise until I've read the rest of the series.

(Check trigger warning through!)
I am I sucker for nonlinear story telling, I live pick out the lies and the half truths! I am glad I didn't know anything about this though, cause if I'd know this book was told in second person I probably wouldn't have picked it up, but...
This it was just too good!
I would recommend this book to my friends... But maybe not my mom. If you know you know.
I need book two right now!

For all its darkness and apocalypses, it has a surprisingly hopeful feeling to it. There are some nice fuzzy moments of love and peace among the dark. I can't wait to finish the next two books already!
