This book was a lot.
Morally gray characters. Dark concepts.
But it was amazingly written. The pacing could not have been better. The characters had depth and weren’t overly predictable. There are so many layers to the plot that unfold, and it is told through multiple povs that allow you to slowly piece together the big picture.
The structure and writing style remind me of the throne of glass series. Overall, very well written.
