This book is a giant puzzle. 

Super interesting concept, but I felt confused a lot of the time. I honestly think that’s the point though - for the reader to be confused, to learn as the characters do. 

Even though I was confused, I was so drawn into the story. Livira and Evar are so interesting, and the scenes are so well depicted that it almost felt like I was a ghost in the room.
