I have never read anything like this before and I could not put it down. I needed to know what was going on and why it was all happening. Cannot stop thinking about this.

Overall really enjoyed this one. My one main complaint, though, is the info dump monologue toward the end of the book. I understand that the characters needed things spelled out for them, but as a reader it wasn’t new information and it felt like the author was kind of telling me the theme of the novel instead of trusting that I figured it out myself.
