I can't talk much about this book without spoiling, but, omg, the characters are amazing and the plot twist too.
Highly recommend.

I hated all of the characters. Obviously they’re not meant to be good people, but I mean that I hated how they were written. Tangerine and his EXCESSIVE goings-on about Thomas and Friends started as endearing but turned out to be just incredibly annoying, regardless of how it served the plot in the end. The Prince was just awful. He’s meant to be, but instead of finding his mindset and philosophies interesting, I mostly found them to be irritating.
Ultimately I was left feeling underwhelmed with the ending and feeling like I wasted my time.

I would have given this 5 stars but there's a minor side character who, while I enjoyed her, was constantly assailed by transmisogynist jokes and that bugged me. I'm hoping that gets fixed in the upcoming film version.

i would've given this four stars but the presence of transphobia, especially the way it's "used" in the book really undercut my enjoyment, so be mindful of that before picking it up
I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I wanted to like it from the summary. I didn't really click with it, but finished it anyways just to see what the conclusion was. I was pretty happy with it. I think there was more fighting scenes than I cared for, but that's a personal issue rather than a problem with the book. At times the plot does feel contrived. I think I would enjoy this more as a action movie. It was fairly slow paced. The writing was alright, it's well translated. I think my least favorite character is The Prince. Imagine that guy from Death Note but much younger and just as edgy.
