2024: decided to revisit this book- I had forgotten everything except for how icky the Dane Twins made me feel. The beginning was slow and the end was almost too fast. Things weren’t built up much and resolved way too quickly. The world building was excellent though. I like V.E. Schwab and I’m going to give the second book in the trilogy a chance. I found myself not really liking any of the characters, which is supposedly unusual for this book. I think I will like Lila more as the story continues. Kell just is a sacrificial idiot & I have hopes that he will grow more as a character.
