My first Ana huang book(probably my last), came into this book liking the characters and themes. Then I hit a wall in the middle where I struggled to finish(especially during the brotherhood sections). What this book excels in is the environmental storytelling. That tbh was the reasoning I kept going, like I found it more interesting to read about what the modeling life was and how Ayana got her start. Don’t get me wrong I like vuk and ayana, but not enough to read about them again. Lastly the book suffers from to much chapters syndrome.(many chapters were so short and did nothing for the plot or characters)
