I really appreciated the diversity of settings and characters, and learning about their struggles. It greatly strengthened the historical element of the story for me.
The characters themselves were lovable - well, mostly. Evie had me po-si-tutely annoyed sometimes, but she grew on me, and I also think her behaviour is actually realistic for a teenager in her position, which was refreshing. (But yes: too much slang. I agree with everyone on this).
I also absolutely loved the different friend/sibling/family dynamics. Theta/Henry and Memphis/Isaiah have my heart.
Regarding the ending,
Overall a fun read. Almost too spooky for me. But looking forward to the next book.
Moderate: Child death, Injury/Injury detail, Murder, and Religious bigotry
