Wow I l loved this book! It was genre bending (fantasy / sci-fi / thriller) and was so easy to get into. All the characters are so flawed and there’s so many morally grey characters and situations that keep you on your toes and make you unsure who you should root for (the answer is probably no one but the characters are so murky that there’s no clear line for so much of the book.)
