This is only the first book out of 6 and Oh My God it was already one hell of a ride.
I am just blown away by Astrid's creativity. So many plot twists and amazing reveals.
The way she unraveled the story by slowly giving us pieces of information when needed.
It was magnificent. Well written! Great world building! I have a hard time explaining how good the story was put together with the action, mystery, tension but also lighthearted and fun elements.
Some parts were confusing but most of it eventually gets cleared up well enough.
So it does have heavy world building with the mystery being unravelled. Very captivating!
Also lots of amazing characters I adore! Some I also hate but thats a necessary evil for books like these haha!
The ending I found a bit less satisfying because it was a little bit too rushed all of a sudden. Astrid left me all nervous with what is happening. And the prologue? Acting like everything is fine in their little hiding world? So many questions, my brain can't process haha. I need book 2 asap!
