Great premise and great execution. The entire trilogy is very well done with minimal plot holes, a logical story that seems to have been thought out from the very beginning, and a very likeable main character

I really enjoyed the world building and the characters!! I was definitely on the edge of my seat for a lot of the book, and I enjoyed both perspectives a lot. The audiobook was good. I want to read more VE Schwab for sure. I’m not tripping over myself to get the sequel but I might check it out eventually.
