I loved this book. I still feel like I’m working through what I actually think about it, but I couldn’t get through it fast enough. It was tense and thoughtful. Cammie is such a great villain, and I find myself still questioning her.
I loved the unreliable nature of each character and how the author played into that. Using an omniscient narrator, but having each characters’ understanding of reality be untrustworthy was such a fun take on the unreliable narrator.
