An intruiging and dark read, especially considering it’s in the YA genre. The fantasy elements are confusing and overwhelming at first, but allow yourself to just vibe with it because it’s not essential that you understand it all. The author is super intriguing and runs a cool YouTube channel (that’s how I heard about the book). It’s very bingeable!
