Ok I was highlyyy anticipating rating this 5 stars but I think the last 25% marked it down for me a tiny bit - I didn’t lovee how dark and abruptly really shifted in tone and kinda pace too at the end but overall I really liked the ending and the story as a whole - definitely a really solid first read of Novik’s and a really good stand alone I think :) 
Oh also - the huge ass age gap between the two characters? Weirddd - especially cause she starts the book at 17 and it does not clarify at alll how long this book goes on for and therefore how old she is at the end which made me a bit uncomfortable
