I feel like this book invented the concept of "plotwist" and moral greyness cause GIRLLL WHAT THE HELL. also every single character is just so so So INTERESTING and also balls to the wall insane in ways that speak to me. they could use a therapist or two. (also reading this book AFTER you've read the whole saga is absolute clownery. they are all so silly and deranged <3). all in all if you like actually morally grey MCs, a fascinating worldbuilding, savage comebacks and compelling character dynamics, and very VERY cool villains👀... I feel like this is your book :)
