This book was very interesting. I needed some time to get into the book but as soon as I reached part two I finished the book in one setting. Personally I think part one was a bit to long and also going to well but  I still enjoyed it. Especially part two was very gripping. Also I think part 3/the ending was a bit to short but that’s just my opinion. But if you like books with loveable characters this is not it. Particularly part two made me hate characters so much I nearly dnf this book since I like books with loveable characters. Nevertheless the story is interesting and I enjoyed the plottwists at the end.
