I hoped for more with this book and I really think it had potential. 
The book was very predictable and just confusing at times. There were so many plot twists that felt rushed and hard to follow as they were not explained and I was left feeling confused. The start was intriguing but towards the end so much was going on I didn’t enjoy it. It’s sad because I loved books like these.

I had high expectations for this book and it surpassed them by miles. I didn’t want to stop reading, it never lost my attention. The plot was amazing, captivating, and only gets better the more you read and the characters are some of the best written I’ve seen in the way that aren’t surface level at all. They’re complex and explored in such an interesting way that goes along with and furthers the plot so nicely. Both the plot and the characters were executed so well I can’t find faults in it. If you’re thinking of reading the book absolutely do, definitely one of my top reads.
