I enjoyed this book a lot. The first book took a while for me to warm up to, because of the timeline, setting, and general vibe was so different from her Grishaverse novels that I was a bit put off. This book was a lot easier to fall into, and it had me captivated from the first chapter.
I didn't expect a lot of the twists and turns, and I enjoyed working through it, and figuring things out with Alex. The story was very satisfying, and left me excited for the next part of the series!
Something about the way she writes just draws me in - I think it's because she creates very human characters who are put in very inhuman situations. Definitely recommend this series (and anything by her really) for people looking for very dark "YA" (heavy emphasis on the A) type books.
