I loved the concept of this book, however it just wasn’t very well executed. It was actually quite disappointing.
The biggest problem that I had with this book was that there’s no world building! Literally. It’s mainly set in a library which sounds great. But when the devil appears, I’m assuming that’s meant to be a different location, it’s just described as if it’s a dream or imaginary. I couldn’t picture any other place other than the library.
I really wanted more from Eliot and Tess, their characters could’ve been so good but there’s a lack of character development for them both.
Honestly, I just forced my way through this because I’d been asked by friends for my opinion on this book.
Graphic: Death, Gore, Self harm, Terminal illness, Blood, and Vomit
