I don’t usually write reviews on here but this book…this book deserves one! The constant plot twists had me spiralling and I got to the end and was left gobsmacked…need to read the second book ASAP!!! I can’t believe what just happened🫢🫢😭😭

Okay, so, I loved this book so much, I sped through it in one day. I loved the whole idea of it, and the inclusion of the secret codes was very cool. I loved the characters, Tipp is so amazing. Kiva, god, I don't know how she handled that for 10 years. And there were so many twists and turns that I did not see coming at all. 

The language at times felt quite repetitive, and the trials were a bit of a let down to be honest, but I very much enjoyed reading it

I loved this book! Read in one night. Only downside was that the (absurd amount of) plot twists felt a bit rushed.

Wow. Eminently readable, with a lush and wondrous (dark) world (being set inside a prison and all). A steady string of well integrated twists and turns, culminating with an absolute jaw dropper on the final pages. There to shed half the book, minimum, in new light. 

This is a book that will give again on the reread, for sure. 

A first in series that confidently stands alone while also leaves you scrambling for the sequel. 

Superb use of textual format and some stunning lines, not to mention a real array of characters, including explicit canonical wlw and amputee. 

Could barely put this book down, and even this scattershot review is after a solid 1( minutes of awestruck space staring upon finishing. 10/10 recommend.

It was kind of hard for me to get into the book at the beginning because it was just a lot of background and not but interesting things going on. Towards the end, however, it got more interesting and has me thinking about buying the second book.
