's review

it was amazing

The best way to go into this book is completely blind to any information about it. I know that’s tough to do as you want to read everyone’s reviews and see if the plot is a good fit. But this is one of those books that you have to trust and take the plunge so you can ride a hell of a ride. So therefore, I won’t go into specifics on the book, just my thoughts on it overall.

I honestly can’t get over how intricate and well-thought-out this book was. Ward has incredible talent at story-telling and the complex web she weaves builds and builds. There is a constant twist after twist and you will continually ask yourself where this is going. It is such a neat challenge for the reader, especially those who despise the average predictable ending. It really is the book that keeps giving.

Also, it is important to read the Afterword. I can’t go into detail about it, but the message is incredible and will change your outlook on the book in a really cool way.
