I could not put this book down! It was so good and every character being morally gray helped the story stay interesting. It gave massive Death Note Vibes! You want to root for certain characters but at the same time there is still something that tells you, you shouldn’t. Can’t wait to read the next book and other V.E. Schwab books.
