Wow. C.S. Pacat, you have done it again. You wrote another masterpiece of a book.
This was such an amazing experience.

I will come to back write a full review when I finish processing my thoughts.
Again, WOW.

I genuinely really liked this and thought it was quite cleverly written. There were quite a few plot twists that I was gobsmacked about and others that I saw coming.

I will say that for one particular main character, the characterisation was not done as well. Which meant that when a certain plot twist was revealed, it kind of validated the wishy washy characterisation of them in the first 90% of the book.
