This book was pretty good, but it was also just pretty weird. I did read through it quickly because I enjoyed the story and the mystery and wanted to know what happened next. But it was kind of dark and had more violence that was more gruesome than I was expecting. I think I would’ve appreciated it more if I knew to expect that, so here’s me letting other people know haha. It was a decent and intriguing story with a plot and fantasy world I found interesting but I also didn’t always enjoy the story or the internal dialogue of the characters.
