Weird.(?) I really enjoyed the beginning, but the multiple perspectives got confusing since they weren't labeled, and the middle part was very odd. That being said, the last 7% mostly made up for it? Definitely my least favorite of her books.

Was listening to it on spotify and realized I didn't care? I'm not even sure how far I got - jk i got to chapter 15

My first review still holds true. This is the most well-written, spell binding book I've ever read. I no sooner finish it than I want to pick it up and start it again.

This book utterly enchanted me. Almost from the moment I picked it up, it wove a spell around me and didn't let me go. I loved this book from beginning to end, which meant two very late nights because I couldn't put it down. My soul thrilled to all of the mystery and magic, and I could never guess the next point in the plot.

i liked that a lot! there was a lot going on in that book and it was handled very competently. the three main female characters were very well cleaned out and complicated. not in a cliche way, in a realistic way.
