This book….
The narrative tense, the character names, the absolute chaos and intentional confusion aimed at the reader. It’s like nothing I’ve ever read before. And I absolutely loved it.
And that ending! I’m so excited and yet still so lost at the same time. I have loved this series so far. It’s like nothing I’ve ever read. It is plot driven to a fault and with so much mystery around even our main character. It questioned everything I thought I already knew and expected to learn in a sequel novel. I cannot wait for Nona and Alecto. Easily jumped to one of my favorite series, but really who knows why. Enter at your own risk and prepare to be utterly at a loss.
As a side note. While I absolutely love Moira Quirk as the narrator of this series, I think this is one of those books that may be better read than listened simply to keep your mind from wandering as you read! But I enjoyed the audiobook none the less!
