5.0

The pacing of the book, the characters, the character interactions, and the worldbuilding are the things you'll find yourself getting lost in with this story. The list above is simply the reflection of Dabos' wonderful writing. You'll feel you were in the room with the characters, experiencing everything in the way that Ophelia experiences.

As someone who finds it hard to get into books, this story felt equivalent of slipping into bed, and letting the world around you become your theater.

This is an incredibly intricate world and it is fascinating. It did take me a while to get through this one but i probably will listen to the next one. This contains a lot of murder and brutality just be aware.
