Loved the story but the writing wasn’t great. There were sentences felt overwritten and a lot of places that felt very jumpy. It regularly had italicised paragraphs that flashed back to something, and honestly they didn’t feel necessary most of the time. Personally I just kind hate flashbacks though, so it might be me.
I did really enjoy the plot. It was interesting and I never wanted to put it down. There were some parts that felt a bit random but I think that’s hard to avoid. I do wish we got more of a wrap up. There were some things I really wanted answers to but we got a “that happened, no clue why” instead.
Overall, it was a great story but could have used a bit more editing in parts.
