Okay, so I was not sure if I would finish this for most of the book. But, I stuck it out because the story is seriously intriguing on so many levels. And in the end, I'm really glad I did, because the wrap up is not only wild, but absolutely redeeming. The characters are kinda hard to get into, but really I guess there's a reason for that, so I suppose be prepared.
Also, not to like spoil this for other people but there is mention of a cat being killed, but either that actually didn't happen, or the cat comes back to life and gets the person back. So, like, I just need other people to be prepared for that because I was not. Animals dying is like my big no, and I ruined a book for a friend because I mentally blocked out an animal being killed and I won't do that ever again lol

Okay, I mentioned the cat death above, and like I said, either it really happened and the cat comes back to life, or it was hallucinated and the cat is a butthead. It isn't clear, though it is just kind of just accepted the cat came back to life?
