Starting with the positives, I found the plot to be compelling and fast paced with lots of interesting developments which made sense within the narrative. I also found the descriptions of the sought after mask in the story to be wonderfully written, giving the object an air of supernatural mystery to it; it appeared almost alive in a simultaneously enchanting and sinister way.
As for the negatives, I HATE the way the women in this novel are written. The constant over sexualisation is cringe inducing and infuriating to read. Additionally, I did not find a single character in this to be remotely likable or engaging. Good thing the plot is so interesting!
