CRAZY trick ending… like what the helllllllllllllllll. BUT I hated Marianna she was so dumb like she put herself in danger so often, like if she’s supposed to be so smart why TF did she willingly go with her niece to the sacrifice cite when she ALREADY was sus of her… like really wtf. Ugh mystery genre annoys me bc I feel like I’m so much smarter than the lead

Very good but not as good as The Idiot! I did love all the new characters though; I think that might have been it’s most redeeming quality— a very interesting cast of characters.
