nirellis's review against another edition

3.75

Conflicted feeling; the writing was atmospheric and the plot/ pace was well done, my only gripe was not caring much about the characters this was happening to, I predict this was due to there being quite a few characters stories told simultaneously so I could never quite get a grip on just one. But for the pacing and plot this worked very well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Half way through the book I was suspecting everyone, that’s when you know it’s good. You have absolutely no clue how it’s going to end and you can’t put it down. I loved the different perspectives across different time lines. This book is incredibly well written and the plot is revealed in the perfect order and timing.
