I stopped and restarted this book twice. I switched to audiobook and that was the ticket for me. I loved it on audio! Maybe it was not having to wonder if I was saying everyone's names and the months and days correctly in my brain that finally let me let go an just enjoy the ride of this book. The tension of Ren's lie really holds throughout this book without getting frustrating or ridiculous. I did not figure out who the Rook was until the reveal because the possibilities in Ren's view were so plausible. And I LOVE that the readers know and Ren doesn't going in to the 2nd book. I just really enjoyed this one.
