Pros:
Well written
Fast paced (after the first few chapters)
Acton scenes

Cons:
Why is rape used as a plot device so much
I preferred the side characters to the narrators
Tired love triangle/square trope

I really don’t appreciate books that just throw you into a story without giving you background, essentially saying you should know everything about the characters without having read much and practically no world building I just can’t 😫
