Since reading this book many years ago I think about it often. I love the concept and the darkness of it. I think on the reread it didn’t hit quite the same because I could remember the twists, but I still enjoyed it. I will continue rereading the series.

I was struggling with this book, I realize that it’s not “for me” and the author even said that the beginning of the book. I did enjoy it though, I learned a lot and added a bunch of titles to my to watch list.
