mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
I definitely bought this for the cover lol. This book was okay. Not amazing but not terrible. It was an enjoyable read.

Some quick notes:
- lgbtq+ characters (including the MC)
- weirdly the author uses the word “sliver” so much in the descriptions of the book that it’s almost comical
- some of the characters lack depth. for instance Byatt really just feels like a plot device and feels like she’s only there for other characters rather than being a fully developed character herself (which is weird because she gets a pov). she does get backstory and a personality but something about it feels surface level
- it dragged in some places
- I really wanted it to explore more of the tox and what was happening. it felt like we only got a little taste of explanation and then nothing more
- really cool concept
- very dark and creepy :)
