This book dragged a little at the beginning for me just because of there being so many different rules for this floor with the hunters but once I got past that I really enjoyed it. I knew Signet was going to sacrifice herself, it felt kind of obvious. Firas dying was sad, but the END???? The epilogue???? Katia or donut????? Absolutely crazy. It’s going to be heartbreaking when they get to floor 9. I was really sad for Miriam, her death hit hard bc of Pony. Happy for big Tina tho. She got to dance and got her mom back even though her mom was there. The politics are getting spicy up in here.
