Honestly, I finished this book a few days ago and it was so underwhelming I had forgotten that I read it. The plot was extremely predictable, the majority of characters lacked depth and I found it hard to get past how unlikable the characters were. I loved the idea of Alicia, her female rage, and the Alcestis — but
the fact that Alicia does talk in the end and dies is just such a boring ending
