challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

would love to give this book more but i found it a little too dark for me. i did however, read it all in one sitting and love it the whole way. until the near end. when my jaw freaking dropped. and even then i still loved it. although i have a question for anyone who has read this book and, even though i’m 99% sure u can’t message on here, i want you to think about this and see if you can come up with a possible explanation:

SPOILER ALERT (kinda):

if they weren’t real (trying to not spoil it so i won’t say who exactly), then how did they stop the people from escaping. like when she was in the walls and they stopped the man from getting out. how if they weren’t real!?
