I didn't think I would enjoy this book as much as I did.
It's wacky, weird, dark and twisted in the best way!
The best way I can explain the plot is there's a competition, a murder mystery plot and there's a big bad battle at the end.
I think the authors mind is amazing, how they possibly crafted such a unique dark world and story is complexing to me.
I didn't expect to like so many characters, I loved Gideon, I loved Harrow, I loved Palamidis and Camilla and Magnus and the french teens. They were all weird, complicated and hilarious.
I am definitely going to continue the series, I need to know what happens next and I need to know now!
