What a book! I was immediately hooked. The reader is thrust directly into the story without much explanation and has to figure out, how the world works and what's going on while following our protagonist Ren. The topics of the book are quite heavy, and I had to stop reading a couple of times and read something fluffy inbetween. Would not recommend if any of the below topics is triggering for you. However, this is a brilliantly written novel, and I cannot wait to see how everything unfolds in the second book.

I really like the plot/mystery and world building, but I had trouble finding a character I could relate to.
