WOW. This was excellent. Genuinely thrilling and so dark and suspenseful which I’m a bit surprised by as my only other knowledge of V.E. Schwab’s work is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue which has its moments of darkness but is so vastly different. Kudos to Schwab for now giving me two books, one swoon-worthy and one brooding, that I’ve completely fallen in love with.

the suicide is for Science Reasons, but is still relatively graphic. animal death is a dog, & isnt permanent

one of the characters has the ability to raise the dead, and has to raise the dog twice

Really well written, but the characters are largely unlikeable, I didn’t find myself rooting for anyone so the tension dissipated.
