I can see why this is a bit of a marmite book, it definitely feels like a brand new trilogy.
me & my shocked Pikachu face enjoyed all the twists and turns but this one definitely feels darker and more in keeping with the confusing and bleak tones of the first book.
However, i still enjoyed it and am intrigued to see what happens in the next book
CW: death, murder, death of a parent, kidnapping, torture, forced imprisonment, experimentation,
