Content Warnings: Discussion of classism, discussion of racism, discussion of sexism
Also thank you to the Tandem Collective for hosting this readalong!!!
The premise is so unique and is done so well. I loved the first section, A Fool’s Gold, the most. The characters are engaging and complex. The story features little glimpses of London and lots of quotes that sit with you after you finish.
What I didn’t like: I just wanted more depth to all of the characters. Some got in depth details of their lives and some did not. The plot was just off for some reason, I will update this with what I mean in a day. I need to sit on my opinion.
