I really loved this book. It took me a bit of time to really get into it (mostly because the beginning, being dropped right into it, confused me for a bit before it all started making sense, which was the author’s intent but still made it harder for me at the start), but I really grew to love the characters and the magic and just the dark, interesting presentation of this world through Lethe (and also some of the reflections from the real world - like the way money and power rule despite the moral dubiousness of it all). I’ll definitely be reading the next book in this series!

Also they better save my baby Darlington I love him dearly!!!
