Woww…… I’m going to need some time to process all of that!! I really didn’t know what to expect going into this first book, only that the future books may bring in the multiverse and my other favorite SJM characters from ToG. I definitely didn’t expect to absolutely fall in love with these characters, this story, and this world!! But oh how I did!! I literally needed to keep a notebook by me at all times to keep track of the different characters, locations in the city, and the lore. that really helped me understand the world better and focus on the plot. 

I loved loved Bryce as a protagonist, I felt like she was beautifully written. 

I literally just finished the book a second ago so I definitely need to just let it all sink in, it’s rlly hard to gather my thoughts rn.

But wow what an adventure, emotional rollercoaster, this book had everything that I love and I will definitely be reading the second one as soon as possible.
