By the time I was half way through this book I was getting annoyed by how little was happening. I can see how it helps the ending but it made me feel like I was slogging through. I liked the overall story enough but I found myself feeling a bit of whiplash at points where many unrelated things seemed to be happening. 
I would recommend this book even with those drawbacks because I found it a unique story. Maybe get the audiobook so you can read it while also doing other things.

That was a pretty wild run. 
It was a bit slow in the beginning but as the story progressed it grew on me and the last 150 pages I read in one sitting. 
I think the world building lacked explanation so it was a little confusing. A huge part of the plot is a mystery and I believe the reader should also be able to guess the twist while reading; however I don’t think it’s possible to fully guess it here because of the confusing world building and lack of complete information.
But I liked this book a lot. It felt like fever dream in the best way possible and I fell in love with the love interest. The second half of the book was really intense and it was hard to put down the book. 
Not sure what to expect from the sequel. I’m excited but also kinda scared.
