Prepare yourself for a heartbreaking, raw, ride. Beautifully written, darkly descriptive, and intense.
The only reason this doesn't get the full 5 stars is because there was very little ebb and flow of emotions. It is mostly fraught, with very few light moments to break up the harshness. But I did enjoy it greatly, and am looking forward to the sequel!
For fans of Miss Peregrine's, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Nevers.

An ARC was lent to me by my local bookshop.
This was spectacular. Perfect balance between dark and gritty and a flicker of hope and warmth. All the characters are so engaging, all of them so complex and compelling. The writing is a pleasure, fluid as a river. Loved it !
I started reading and then Heartstopper and OFMD put me in a reading slump, I wasn't even in the mood to finish it anymore but I did, and I enjoyed it immensely ! So to tell you, it was good xD
