This book is a delightful tale and a really interesting setting and world. The only thing I wish is that it was far more concise in parts and expanded in the others. The idea of it taking place in such a short amount of time is great but the first 80 pages are a bit dull. The tension and excitement of the story doesn’t really build much until page 130 or so and then finally it starts to grow and get exciting. This story is a lovely little story I just wish for more than what it was.

reddit is cheating okay if my husband is a psychopath and runs away from our island’s sacrificial ritual instead of staying like everyone else also is it okay if i kill him

knocked a star off because many of the characters felt very one dimensional and a kind of sidekick to the character. the maid, the black best friend: who were they? 

this book for its creativity and voice will stick with me though.

enjoyable! the atmosphere was good and i liked the characters. the pacing did feel a bit odd to me, fast at first then dragged in the middle then super fast at the end but oh the end was really good!
