Where to start?! The world building is some of the best I’ve read with every detail having some historical purpose and explanations. The characters are deeper than the Mariana’s trench and the emotions I felt when stuff happened to them! Ooooo. I haven’t felt that in a long time. The pacing was perfect with scenes never over staying their welcome or leaving too soon. The story line is compelling questioning the value of friendship in the face of death and how far is one willing to go before they’re a different person. Top of the favorites!
