Read in one sitting; amazing characters, story, and world. Very heavy on gore. I anticipate having nightmares for the rest of my life since one of my biggest issues with media is gore but the writing style and everything was so good I just kept reading. But seriously. The gore. So much. I’m glad I can’t visualize in my mind and would personally like to never see an adaptation to screen. (Looking at you, mawmouths from the Scholomancy series. In fact, Novik’s descriptions helped me to place the Graces)

The religious trauma was also to the forefront as this was a doomsday cult book. I think that these two trigger warnings should be the biggest out the gate and the author does have a note to the reader at the front I really appreciated. 

I also loved the epigraphs before each chapter which really built the world so much fuller for me. Some are very relevant to the genocide happening right now in Palestine. A book I will heartily recommend with alllllll the trigger warnings (almost all of the ones available for selection on this app!)

I enjoyed this a lot but I don't know if I was the target audience as it was really young. So much body horror. So much.

I swore a lot as I read this book; it was seriously that good.

Not sure what it says about me that I kept an internal monologue urging Benji to murder all the Angels… but it’s the truth!

Love the themes and imagery (as someone who enjoys gore, body horror, and religious symbolism a totally normal amount), but the characters and world just don't feel well fleshed-out enough and the writing is a bit too repetitive and heavy-handed.
