I liked this book and thought it had a cool concept and gave me darkest shades of london vibes. i really did like it but the writing style felt a bit choppy and bumpy and because of that it was hard to feel connected to the the other characters in the book. i thought the end was super rushed and it was hard to follow the end. I would read more books set in this world.

I think this had some really fun troupes that just worked. I also loved seeing all the side characters again and loved the characters so much and just loved seeing them go into a realtiomsip and all the drama the came with it. I also loved the single mom elements of this story. i also think the supencsse element was infused so well and was such a well crafted read!! So excited for the next book.
