- This book was a journey to read through. Deeply atmospheric and engulfing- read it with a pit in my stomach and feeling a creeping disturbing nature- and I am usually not super bothered by psychological thrillers. I feel like this mix of fantasy and thriller pulled that off extraordinarily well.
- Reading sections at a time felt like a fever dream I was so engrossed.
- Very original concept
- Wish we got more detail about the magic system, it was confusing but the authors paced it well that the reader never feels ahead of the character’s
- Had some issues with portrayals of certain themes and characters . Also some garbage ableist attitudes bled through and I’m not sure if it was a result of the 2000s or translation but … yeah…
- Yeah the translation and characters could be clunky. I wish we got more closure and more development for a good amount of them. Like Lisa’s characterization flip flopped a ton.
Minor: Ableism
