Hard to tell when it is “real” for the characters because of hallucinations. Might be a tw for somenadia's review against another edition

I'd heard that this book had a lot of footnotes and that that, combined with the different timelines, might be confusing on audio, but it flowed well. Maybe even better than if I'd been reading it in print! Also, pretty impressed with how I hardly got lost amongst what was a large cast of characters.
I'm only sad that I missed out on the illustrations. I took a little peek in a bookstore when I was about 60% through and was hoping to find them all online in the PDF attachment that came with the audiobook, but it only had the map of the school! Will have to go back to another bookstore and see! (This disappointment had no impact on my rating, mind.)

A couple of the issue that may be a problem for others is the slow read with a passing problem. It is a long novel and the first half of the book drags out a lot of the present timeline while the last quarter seems to move tif you like. If you like solid endings this book won’t be fire you. A lot of the mystery was left unsolved and in a way that (in my opinion, dear Reader) was not executed well and made certain storylines seem unnecessary or less important.

Moderate: Body horror
Minor: Drug use and Sexual assault
There is a single paragraph near then end of the book that involves sexual assault. The woman was able to escape. One of the characters is doing drugs in every scene he is in. All together that’s about 5 pages. Much of the book describe pretty upsetting deaths that include a lot of physical damage like horrible bruising that causes face deformities.beccaand's review against another edition
