I'm not sure how I feel about this book to be totally honest.
Objectively well written and I truly never felt like I knew what was going to happen. However, I found the pacing quite off and having so many different directions and red herrings throughout it meant climax didn't hit as hard as I wanted it to.
I wish I could give it a 4 but it just wasn't really doing it for me.
****okay after a few days of sitting with it I have bumped it up. I found the plot and characters super interesting and the world building felt really fleshed out while also being pretty unique*****
