I'm not sure how I feel about this. I mean I liked a lot of the book, but I also wasn't blown away. I didn't feel surprised by any of it. I thought the whole 'twist' (if it was intended to be a twist) was pretty obvious from the beginning. I liked the world and the lore, but I just feel like there's a lot of things that didn't have enough information. I'm not sure if I want to find out any of it either.

i was so mad at this book because until i read half of it i had no idea what was going on — i couldn’t understand where the story wanted to go or how the world worked. but the more i kept going, the more i appreciated the world building and the complexity of the story and the characters. i loved how everything ties together really well and it makes so much sense. at a certain point i started predicting some things and it made the experience even more enjoyable because i felt connected to the book in some way. i wasn’t sure i was going to love this but it was such a nice surprise

I 1-starred this book because it was a dnf for me. It was a dnf at Chapter 3. In Chapter 2, I guessed the big reveal. Chapter 3 confirmed it for me, so I read/watched a couple reviews hoping I was wrong, but I wasn't. Once I knew the ending/reveal, I had no ambition to continue the book.
This is not a fair rating for this book. If I hadn't caught onto certain aspects, I might have enjoyed reading on, and this book would probably earn better than 1-star. I was liking what I was reading.
So it deserves a fair chance. I may like it even knowing the ending.
One day it will get a second read, and hopefully a full read.

Intense resentment. Itu mungkin deskripsi yang cocok buat gambarin tone cerita ini. Karakternya nyimpen amarah yang dipendam dan bitter banget, terus dicampur dengan keputusasaaan yang bikin nekat. Ekspresinya pun ditahan-tahan, bukan meledak-ledak. Tone ini bikin ceritanya yang unik makin nempel di ingatan.
