I loved the constant plot twists. Some I anticipated, some I didn't. Some were made all the more delicious by my anticipating them (the romantic ones, most specifically). At times, it felt like there were 3 books in this book. But it all hangs together beautifully.
The world is fascinating and well thought out. The characters are flawed, and felt very real. They were also charming to me. Perhaps a leaning a bit heavier on dark themes than I usually prefer, but that was the story. I don't question whether it works here. While at first I found the romantic tension a bit too reliant on the protagonist's self-hatred, I was hooked on their dynamic by the end. And again, that flaw makes sense for the character.
I really loved this book.
