4.5/5

Very interesting concept and dripping with atmosphere. Loved the writing style for the descriptions and throw away lines.

A little confusing with there being so many characters.

Half the time I was reading this all I could think was what the fuck but damn it had good plot twists. Ending left my slightly unsatisfied but the twists and turns make up for it

4– everyone is unreliable. the more you find out about someone, the less you really know.

this was honestly really well done and a very unique concept. each of the characters have their own personality and read very differently. my only real qualm with the characters and world is how unbalanced the time we live with each is. i wish we could’ve lived some of their lives longer or seen some of the world we return to, but the self-contained aspect honestly does the story a favor.

LOVED all the breadcrumbs and getting to see how the ripples of each characters’ day impacts that of another’s, but it creates a level of complexity that requires actively paying attention throughout the entire thing. if you are unable to finish it in a relatively short amount of time, i wouldn’t recommend it.

Artfully constructed!

Awesome book filled with twists and turns!

I loved the concept and the execution!! It was like reading a game of cluedo. So much depth.
