The cross references with the time and just the way that we have such a complex character who acknowledges her mistakes but would never change it if she went back in time because she accepts that she’s made bad choices and she takes accountability for it alongside other characters. Lowkey a heart wrenching book but was so enjoyable to read I found myself going through the pages quite fast. I also understand the hype surrounding it and it’s definitely exceeded my expectations.

It was quite slow but the author would slowly reveal small plot twists throughout which
aims to mislead you because the big key plot twist warps everything you’ve read so it’s totally unpredictable because you see each character’s perspective apart from the ones who are truly the masterminds behind these particular initiates being chosen so you are seeing it through their lens and are even more confused and creating personal theories which makes what really happens at the end more surprising than anything else because we now finally know what’s happening but the characters still don’t know the real reason why they’re there. I’m definitely reading the other books in this trilogy! I have a feeling everything I just wrote made no sense I was aiming to not spoil so it’s a book you need to read if you want to understand what I wrote 😭 it’s also got such a diverse set of characters and it’s such refreshing representation in all honesty :’)
