i hadn't heard about this book before going into it but it was really good. I loved the characters and the world. It wasn't really disturbing to me but i have read other people's comments so i would suggest looking up the trigger warnings if you're interested. To be honest it's not really a speacial book like the writing and the world-building was pretty simple but it was fun to read and it kept me hooked, the story was interesting. Also that cliffhanger in the end, looking forward to the second book  :)

My first time reading a book that is included in the "horror" genre. I've been meaning to read it for a while but I was always scared it would be scary; I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it wasn't. 
I enjoyed the story, it has a lot of gore and "medical" scenes that could be disturbing to some people, but I'm not someone easily bothered by gore so that aspect wasn't an issue for me.
I also thought it would have some sort of romance aspect in it, but after reading it, it really doesn't need any romance. It wouldn't have been logical to add romance to the plot.
I'm not sure if I'll continue with the series, but overall it was a good time
