(Really 3.5 stars) It ended up being what I expect from a VE Schwab book: incredibly faced paced and fun to read, with some morally questionable characters that you root for anyway. Once I starded reading I often lost track of time. However, beyond that excitement it fell a little flat at times. A lot of the time jumps felt unnecessary, just there to make the plot seem more complex/exciting than it really was. The buildup to the climax was great, but it ended up not completely delivering & some of the plot resolutions at the end felt a bit forced. Equally there was a lot of potential for powerful character arcs, but they weren't really delivered on.
Still, definitely worth picking up if you're looking for a fast-paced, exciting read!
