planky's review against another edition

I didn’t enjoy the writing style but I can appreciate the complexity. I was gripped at the start but started losing interest quickly.  It just wasn’t for me.

I found this fascinating. It was jaw dropping and darkly satisfying to see the revenge come full circle. Like a dark hand stretching long shadows on the students and everyone they kept close

This book was dark, crazy, and had shocking twists/reveals. The writing style of the book was different than what I'm used to reading, yet it was still interesting to follow along.

My only con was listening to it as an audiobook instead of reading it physically. I was unable to see the characters' names and got a little confused as to who was who in the beginning. 

Overall, it was a good read!

One of the wildest rides I’ve ever been on. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the author throws another curveball. I was floored for about 95% of this book. The writing style takes a bit to get used to at first, but once you get into it, it’s not as jarring. At the outset of reading this, my main takeaway is who really was the “bad guy” in this story. I’m not sure, are you?
