I found it boring 
A bit slow 
Then i thought maybe it was a children's book 
But children won't understand what was going on 
Coz till half of the book i didn't 
.
Good imagination no doubt 
But I think the world should have developed more 
It felt half baked 🙈
.
I feel bad to say such a thing for such a famous and brilliant author 
But this book no 
Please

The Idea was good 
But 
Implementation wasn't
Maybe coz I have watched a series based on the same concept that's why maybe I didn't like it much 
.
But the three stars is coz she thought of it and implemented it 
.
And 
She was writing like she was explaining it to naive people
Like to someone who is new to thriller or horror
It was slow 
Couldn't grab out attention
.
Just finished it coz we were curious
