It wasn’t an intriguing start at all, and the only thing that kept me reading was the whispers of something grander and more magical later on. We spend a few chapters learning a small bit of the world, and of the main characters in Adelaide’s life, as well as the mundane worries in her day to day life, including of wanting to be liked by a boy. It also made the book feel as if it didn’t truly have an ending, as both the knowledge of the twist and reveal of the twist made it feel like more was needed to tie everything together.Īdditionally, the beginning was fairly weak too. Since that twist ended up being the climax of the plot as well, it led to a subpar finale overall. I’m just gonna start off by saying that the synopsis gives away the entire main twist of the book (I had guessed it before I had even started reading), and even when I started reading, the foreshadowing was a smidge too obvious.

All in all, I’d say it had a pretty weak start, and didn’t play up the plot points I thought it would, but I still found myself sucked into the story by the end of it. I took a few days to think over this book, and what I thought of it, as different parts of this book spoke to me more than others. Please note that the version I read was an advanced copy, and certain events/language may be changed in the published edition. Hey guys!
