Unlikable characters. So much happens yet it's boring. Surprisingly extremely gory.

The whole time I was reading, I was waiting for Emanuela to have just a little character development. Maybe a bit happened at the end when she admits she needs her best friend, but other than that, she remains obstinately self-centered. I originally liked her character and thought she would be interesting, but she never went beyond her need for power and glory, and she seemed just to be using Ale and always telling him how he’s useless without her. Maybe she’ll develop further and realize some of her strengths come with flaws holding her back, but I don’t know if I’ll read the next book because this one was so disappointing.

This was way darker than I expected, and I honestly loved it. Emanuela is very unlikeable, hateable even, and that is the best thing about the book. If you want to read about a girl going absolutely batshit, this book is for you.
