I saw this so highly rated and wanted to pick this up as a new to me genre. The idea of the story was great! I really love the card element and the inclusion of that throughout the book, with the added explanation at the very end. I love that the beginning of the book and its characters tied all nicely together. 

However, I was a little bit disappointed by the writing. This was set as 3rd person POV and with so many characters, I wish we stayed with just 1-3 characters. However, it felt like often times, this story changes setting after a couple paragraphs almost out of the blue. Maybe a little deviator in the pages would have been great. 

I think this story could have definitely benefited from being a bit longer. With so many characters with different stories and backgrounds that offer a piece to the puzzle, I would have definitely enjoyed it a lot more if we could have sat with each character just a little bit longer to form a connection.
