this book was really really slow paced, and it wasn’t for me but the writing was very good. the plot was okay…  but 4/5 through the book and still in my mind i was like “has anything even happened yet??” maybe it was the skill of the author slyly sliding in progress or actually nothing has happened yet. and the plot twist… the plot twist was over a few pages unlike the majority of books where it occurs in one sentence. that kind of killed it for me but it was also cool when i went back to check foreshadowing and it was apparent! i dont know why but I didnt pick up on those hints. overall, okay plot, could be executed better. i do think the messages in it are important i just didnt like the way it was delivered to us
