 This book has got to have one of the most interesting approaches to storytelling I've seen in a while - though also the most confusing. I won't go into detail as I think it is best to go in blind but I will say that the devil is in the details!

In book one I didn't like Harrow at all and given what happened to Gideon at the end, this book wasn't a high priority. However I needed something to take on a trip and the ebook was free at the library so here we are. Despite going in not liking Harrow this book made me care for her a lot more and the new characters introduced are a fun mix of entertaining and concerning. I kind of wish I'd listened to the audiobook as I heard a clip of one of the scenes and it was the funniest thing!

I honestly don't know what else to say about this book without ruining the surprises but don't expect to understand half of what's going on - I have really enjoyed the ride so far but the reason this isn't five stars is that I am very very confused about practically everything.
