I really enjoyed this book. It is NOT for the faint of heart- heed the CWs. But I loved the mystery of it and found the revenge plot very satisfying. It also had some amazing and funny side characters who were genuinely good people. The MC is pretty amoral but I rooted for her anyway. The worldbuilding was cool, although we never really get explanations of how it all worked. Very vivid characters.
