this is a great concept and executed very well. Its dystopian but in the scary way that is extremely close to our current reality. Its a thrilling read w scary moments and lots of twists and turns. Some storytelling gets lost bc the author takes any and every chance to jab at disney like no we get it pretty much from the beginning 😭. A lot of action is jam packed into this and while it’s certainly interesting and keeps u reading i wanted more w character. It was lacking a bit. The ending is also a bit rushed and this couldve def benefited from a longer page count or being multiple times. But still a unique concept that does its job well. A great read.
