Excellent narration, and significant character development. The world-building was well done, and the descriptiveness helped me to feel like I was in the world. The ending was not at all what I expected but was a great way to end the book without adding a sequel. I foresaw some of the twists but not all of them. And I loved the Buffy references. I didn't like some of the characters I think I was supposed to. And Ava was a bit unlikable in parts but I also can see why she was like that due to trauma.
