I really wanted to love this, but it wasn’t quite for me. It’s extremely character-driven and slow paced, if that’s your thing! I like plotting and scheming storylines, but I wanted more action. I think Blake is playing to her strengths (the one action scene was rather confusing), but the outcome just wasn’t my style. The multiple narrators literally differentiated their voices, which was cool, but it didn’t feel like they all collaborated. Like Tristan’s voice for Libby felt off or vice versa.
