This was such a complex and rich world, but it lowkey kinda put me in a reading slump. The character reveals were lowkey crazy and they had me gagged. But it is also a challenging read and sometimes boring to read, especially the filler parts. But every time I read the book I was sucked into the world and it definitely captured my attention despite the boring parts. Cant wait to see what happens next!
