Only writing incredible books
When people ask me for fantasy or sci-fi recommendations, I'm almost always going to recommend these two authors, and from now on this series will be at the top.
Now for this book specifically: I absolutely loved it. Going to need a reread bc with the heavy detail and complex story line I feel like I missed something important. Much faster paced than Ninth House, I couldn't put the book down start to finish. The plot twists, wtf moments and pure shock factor of Ninth House carried over into the sequel and the story and writing were incredible.
Because I used the audio book for this, at times the time jumps chapter to chapter were confusing at times, leading me to feel like I may have missed information. But when reading the hard copy of Ninth House I had no issue with the time jumps so I plan on rereading with a hard copy and I would recommend others use hard copies for this series as well.
