DID NOT FINISH: 1%

This was waaay before May 28th but anyway. I didn't like how it was written. It was hard for me to read.

I wanted to love this book because it gave Diviners vibes not only with the audiobook narrator, but the cast of characters too. I loved the LGBTQIA along with the BIPOC cast, but the pace did kill me. I did enjoy the mythology, mystery, and plot twists that were built in although I did guess a few of them. I do think this is one of the books I would enjoy more as an adaptation.

It’s giving “author writes fanfic about her own characters.” Wish I loved them as much as she did so I could be down to follow the zany antics a bit more

wtf did i just read? the imagery was fantastic but the sentence structure and grammar typos were so bad lol 
there were hardly any transitional parts so the reader could follow. that made the book pretty choppy and i really only finished it because i was curious about the ending. i think the book was entirely too long for the plot and there were SO many unnecessary characters here it got confusing.

Quite a lot going on at every moment really 

Which I still can’t decide if that was good or bad…. But definitely noticeable regardless
