This book was much better than I expected. Utilized the audiobook and was enthralled with it from the beginning. The overarching mystery was fun and the ending was bonkers. I think I benefited from listening to it as it allowed the dialogue to flow better for me than it usually does when I read. Highly recommend giving this one a shot

This was fairly good, but there just wasn't anything very exciting about it. I didn't care very much for any of the characters, the plot was a bit boring a lot of the time, and the ending was a bit lackluster. I would potentially read the next book in the series, but it depends on how much I've forgotten, because I definitely wouldn't re-read this.

There were some interesting ideas here, and it really wasn't terrible, but I was never anxious to pick it up and read it, and it was way too easy to put down.
