I found this book incredibly interesting. It did jump in a little fast, and I started the book a little lost. However, once I got farther in, it started to become more clear and easier to follow and I was absolutely invested. It is a really cool take on a Lord of the Flies retelling and was full of twists and turns that I didn't see coming.

A big part of this book is the fantastical style epidemic that has struck not only the people on the island, but also the plants and animals. This does lead to a lot of death and violence as there is no cure for the disease. There are probably other content warnings associated with this book, but I'm behind on reviews and it's been a couple of months since I read the book, so I probably didn't remember them all.
