This book was... Crazy. It was really cool and I actually felt like I really connected with Laylee. She went through so much and it really made her internalize herself, but she went through so much character development through the book it was great.
I loved that we got Oliver and Alice into story too. I was worried we wouldn't see them at first.
However, I feel I must note the EXTREMELY GRAPHIC content in here. There are descriptions of really gruesome scenes that I can't believe are in a middle grade novel. I haven't read that in YA even. It was so detailed and brutal, I can't imagine kids wouldn't have a nightmare. I'm all about the gore, but this shocked even me.
However, this was a cool adventure and I really actually enjoy the morbidity/darkness overall to the plot.
