This book is lovely in its visuals. It’s enthralling and the world it creates is beautiful. You fall for the characters. Hard. However it takes a nosedive of such epic proportions.
They pulled the “it was all a dream” trope except everyone was an actor except the main character. I loved the characters only to find out it was all a ruse. All a ruse that left massive gaping plot holes. I could deal with one twist. But two is too much. The ending destroyed me in the worst way.
