i have very mixed feelings on this book. i thought the concept was so creative and unique so i was very excited about this one!! my main issue with it was the pacing. there were some parts where i felt like i was forcing myself to finish it. however, the last 100 pages felt like seconds. the way every little detail and strand of information throughout the entire book came together and suddenly everything made sense, every word hardinge wrote was purposeful. one of the most satisfying endings ive ever read!!
