This was a book I was never really interested in. I thought it was way too hyped up. But then, I decided to pick it up and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I opened it, I was hooked. It completely drew me in. I could envision every scene playing out like a movie in my head. I should have known I would love it as I’ve loved every V.E./Victoria Schwab book I’ve read so far. I just love her writing style and her characters. The stories she tells are so interesting.  The worlds in this story were intriguing and I loved that we got glimpses into most of them in this first instalment. I’m excited to see what happens next.
