I typically love Silvia Moreno-Garcia and I still adore her writing in this, but the story overall just lacked a specific spark to it. I did appreciate how unique it was in comparison to my usual reads and the characters are also unique in that I like to dislike them. I like that they're flawed and human and make mistakes and experience life like humans do. Overall, not a bad time. I liked the plot and how it kept me enthralled from the beginning, but the twists were easy to see.
