This book has lots of wonderful aspects to it. It's a fantastical murder mystery wrapped in a post modern magical world. The main character is standoff-ish, but social, walking the fine line of someone from two different worlds. 

The main issues I had was mainly with the writing style more then anything. The amount of cuss words was markedly more then other books I have read, which is great...I guess I just felt like the writing wasn't as colorful as the characters/world/plot.

I would consider the first half of this book very slow paced and the other half very fast paced. 100% Worth it though

Moderate: War, Sexual content, Gun violence, Confinement, Bullying, and Body horror

Minor: Death of parent, Vomit, Suicide attempt, Suicide, Suicidal thoughts, Self harm, and Fire/Fire injury

This book is 18+ so it goes pretty heavy on some of the trigger warnings I listed. It’s still good if you can skip through them or if they don’t phase you too much.

I think I would have given this book 5 stars if Sarah J. Maas hadn't used the word "alphahole" so many times.
