Truly a wild wild book. It was a little slow in the beginning and I struggled a little to get into it, but it picked up towards the middle of the book when prophecies start getting thrown around.

A very creative way to pose fantasy into real life, and has stark parallels to current social issues we see and may experience.

This book!!! I didn’t see any of the twists coming, I love (most of) the characters with my whole heart! The ones I don’t love I literally hate them so much omg.
The ending!!! Wtf!!!!
I listened to the audio book and Nicola Coghlan is probably one of the best narrators I’ve listened to:)
Only negatives was it was a little slow to start, and sometimes the decisions some of the characters made no sense (to me).

I actually found Helena’s outcome pretty underwhelming? It was a bit of a shame there wasn’t an ‘oh shit what have I done’ moment but I guess some people will just blame everyone else even til the end.
