This book called me single in 45 diff chapters lol

Anyways, the book is great, it’s not very detailed but that wasn’t a problem. It felt like watching a movie because there was so much happening at each moment. I think if it was more detailed it would’ve felt a bit like a drag. 

I like that a lot of the movement of the book have been inspired by previous literature from back then. 

The cliffhangers were amazing, I literally screamed after one of them cuz I didn’t wanna wait to find out. 

My eyes skipped through the lines one too many times to find the answers before getting to it which I think is an indicator to good writing.

I think the use of history and literature pre-dating WW1 made the story feel more real which was great and I hope the characters were accurate to his private school boys were back then cuz it’s an interesting insight.

It’s a great read, I was not expecting to like it so it’s deff a nice surprise!
