i have never been kept on the edge of my seat the way the last 40% of a tamsyn muir book keeps me on the edge of my seat. it didn’t matter that i read some major spoilers for this book—at no point did i know where the plot was going to go. i only had what i didn’t understand and what i thought i understood, and the things i felt most certain about were consistently the things that ended up lulling me into a false sense of confidence with these plot twists. the ultimate puzzle of a book. the way it experiments with point of view is fucking insane. incredibly crafted. i can’t wait to reread and see it in an entirely new light. i am going to crawl into my walls and start eating the insulation.
