This book is brilliant, but if you aren't prepared for an unflinching story of a hard life of a girl who has been plagued by SV her whole life, I'd recommended not reading it until you are.

It was confusing at points, random flashbacks without warning causing me to have to reread paragraphs. It was good though. I really like Alex and Darlington.

Start was really slow and disorganised, should have been edited to be chronological rather than jumping. Ending was really good, saved the book.

HOLY MOLEY I NEED TI PROCESS THIS PROPER REVIEW PENDING

Ok, shit. So this was one of the best books I’ve had the privilege to live in for a long time. Pacey, topical, beautifully crafted characters and narrative, magic, mystery, academia but not too much. Obsession doesn’t even begin to cover it. So glad it’s a series. Not for the faint hearted though - it is Dark
