its an enjoyable read everything was gross and icky and i hated reading the third act becuz i wanted to screammmm but in a good way i was tense i like noemis character but i wished they played into some of her traits more she seems to be a very alluring person who can eaily manipulate i wished they showcasted that more but i guess its understandable due to the nature of the situation i also wish we knew more of catalinas side of the events, especially the events that predate the book so i guess a prequel is very much needed some of the writing was a bit off, like how they mention small insignifcant things from noemis past/life lile i rly dont think they were necessary i like the setting and how you can vividly see the high place in ur mind becuz of the description that was very nice overall i like it a bit more than i thought i would and i would reccomend
