I’m so conflicted on this book because I’ve been so excited to read it for so long and I absolutely adored sundial by the same author, but it didn’t always hit the mark for me. I never really got used to the writing style and the twists at the end were quick and hurried. however, I loved the concept and parts of this were really poignant, horrifying and moving. the middle section was fantastic, so nail-biting and horrible, and I’ll be thinking about it forever. but equally the ending was so rushed that it sort of dampened my experience. lots to love here though. again, I’m conflicted.
