The first 100 or so pages are a little slower, but after that it’s very gripping. Ends on a cliffhanger. I recommend you wait to read Chapter 62 (the last chapter, about 1 1/2 pages) until you have book 2 on hand.

This book is a dystopian possibly fantasy novel that links together the rich and the poor, the friends and foes, the enemies and lovers. It’s a dance amongst thieves.

i got bored; the characters are repetitive and the sequence of events wasn't enticing enough. it was a lot of straight people doing straight people things and having straight people arguments.

This book was 😘🤌 but I hate the bad communication trope, hopefully the next book is longer as there are so many unexplored developments in this one. But overall one of my favourite reads this yr.
