The story sounded so interesting and unique so I was really excited to read it but unfortunately it was a rushed mess with massive plot holes, no real characterization of anyone (literally every character sounds the same and feels so bland and colorless) and an attempt at feminism that doesn’t really feel like feminism due to the mechanics of the supernatural at play. Also, I unfortunately did this as an audiobook which was a huge mistake because the voice actress is just atrociously bad. Her attempt at acting is what I’d do when reading a children’s book to my nephews but there’s no legitimate emotion there or attempt at characterization past whispering for some characters but screaming for others.
