I honestly liked the characters a lot in this one, I enjoyed how bonded I was to each character and how I had their best interests in mind. They were all so close to my heart and I wanted nothing but the best for them. The author does such a nice job of really exploring the core values of each character: the beliefs, their values, and what they want in life. And how far they're willing to go for it. The plot thickened throughout the book, and it had me annotating throughout the book. Stunning writing, I couldn't be more impressed. This was very well written and the plot twists were executed nicely. The pacing was just right, and I'm excited to read more from this author. I couldn't ask for a better book.
