monstrouscosmos's review against another edition

I really enjoyed the world building, and the exploration of each character as individuals as well as their group dynamics. the perspective taking of the chapters was also interesting, and the narrators all added nuance to their performances in ways I appreciated (especially during internal monologues). unfortunately Part 6 definitely got too trigger heavy for me, and I found the expositions started to get both much longer and much less believable. not the book for me, unfortunately!

If this book had been around in 2014, it would've had a CHOKEHOLD on Tumblr.

I really enjoyed the book until the end. It started off as grounded and very character driven before diving into a completely different story as the book was coming to a close. It’s a shame as I found the characters compelling.

Reading the first pages I didn't have many expectations but I was nicely surprised by the complexity of the characters. Now I am kind of curious about how will the story continue, although the revelation made me feel like the antagonist turned into a simple caricature of a villain (hopefully their motivations and personality will be further explored so they feel more complex and interesting)

I have some bones to pick. At least twice the book thought it was surprising me when it wasn’t. But it was enjoyable enough and consistently did not do the laziest, most boring things.
