First of all, I loved this book! I love the Cresent City world and characters!. Yes some of them made me want smack some sense into them 😆 Yes its more of plot driven story than a character one, but I still enjoyed getting into the heads of so many people.
Second I will admit that there were so wild POV changes that gave me whiplash as well as some pacing issues. However they weren't enough to bother my experience. I honesty was a bundle of anxiety most of the time, which I hadn't felt in a long time! Also there were some great WTF moments I still think about! It's a rollercoaster!
Lastly I was satisfied with how things played out (trying to keep it as spoiler free as I can). Sure things could have been different, but for me the choices made by Sarah, made sense for the world and characters. I know many won't be happy and disappointed but for me, I was happy!
I ask if you read this book, please go in with an open mind. It may not be what you hoped for but please don't hate on those who enjoyed it!
