I was left adrift with some of the physics in this novel but I loved it regardless. Claire North hasn't disappointed me yet. I can't wait to get my hands on 84K.

Oh muy bien, me gustó el planteamiento y todo lo que hace imaginar. Ya quisiera yo ser una uroboros jaja, probaría de todo y con todo... y con todos... o.o La historia es muy entretenida, la disfruté. Qué malvado el Vincent, si es de esos villanos odiables, pero entrañables.

Likable characters who sometimes do bad things, intricate but clearly explained and a page turner that’ll make you think. For the folks that like a solid fiction novel and for the folks who like a well put together modern fantasy, this is one you should pick up.

There are book club questions at the end - a little like college essay questions but still thought provoking.

It took a good long while to get going, but I persevered, and the ending was well worth it. If you choose this book, stick with it!

When people say that a book changed them, I never really understood what they meant. Until I read this book. As someone who contemplates existence on their free time, this book was perfect for me. It made me really think into the meaning and psychics in life and the universe.

The characters were amazing and felt so real. Especially the protagonist. I even found myself liking the villain sometimes. The relationship between the protagonist and the villain was so unique. Even though it was different, it still made sense.

Overall, I loved how innovative the story and its characters were. Not only was the world building and characters so real, but the progression of the story was so genuine. Everything made sense.
