The story was beautifully crafted. It created lot’s of loose threads, sending you into different times and to different characters. Slowly the story comes together. It should be complicated. It should have confused me. But somehow the complexities of the story were threaded together so elegantly, it barely was any effort.
I like how at first you don’t even know what the plot of the book will be and it’s just about creating the story for these characters.
Loved June as an addition to the story. However, I wasn’t a fan of Marcella. I didn’t like reading from her perspective and had to drag myself through those bits. She just falls flat in contrast to the other amazing characters.
I wished for more Eli and Victor together. I know logically, that would’ve been really difficult to do. But those two together are so much fun to read.
Overall a really great book. Beautifully written, wonderful characters and interesting story.

Once again Schwab doesn't disappoint.
I love the set up of starting from an unknown point and only giving the reader snippets from '3 weeks ago' to 'yesterday afternoon'. I loved putting the pieces together of what the separate characters were doing and seeing it all come together. The anticipation as the time got shorter leading to the climax was really fun to watch unravel.
This is the kind of thing I love. I wish Sydney and Mitch and even June all the best until I meet them again.
