I’m SO sucked into this world and I need to know more immediately. I need to know more about Thorn and I’m so interested to see how Ophelia will adapt in the following books. I understand why people say it’s slow, I felt that a bit at the beginning, but the last 100 pages were an absolute whirlwind that just introduces but doesn’t resolve chaos. 

This isn’t getting 5 stars because 1) the internal monologue is structured with a lot of questions which made me think the book thought I was too stupid to think of them myself and 2) the English translation is a bit wonky in places so I didn’t always love the way it was written.

Regardless, I’m starting the next one immediately!
