The endgame... completely blindised me, and not in a good way. It felt like it just came out of nowhere. I don't completely dislike where it left Grace and I even think there's a possibility for an open ending that favors her more, but it didn't feel fully integrated into the narrative.
It's a good concept though and the bits I enjoyed I enjoyed a lot, but I don't think it's a book I'll revisit.

The ending felt rushed and was out of the blue no matter how much Mackie tried to pepper in hints.
Main character, Grace, was written to be unlikeable but I believe Mackie forgot that you can add complexities to unlikeable characters. As others had said disdain is not a personality. I really didn’t care about her character - I didn’t want her to succeed or fail I just didn’t care.
In all, it felt that Mackie had a great idea and half way gave up - wasn’t sure how to pull this off. I really struggled to get to the end of this.
