    This book is fantastic! Highly recommended! A friendly reminder: if you're looking for a fast-paced, action-packed read, you might want to reconsider. The excitement builds gradually, as you must uncover clues and rules to survive in the supernatural world – it's thrilling and exciting! Each small segment is packed with satisfying moments. The main theme is the resurgence of the supernatural, proving that the supernatural cannot be eradicated! The writing is strong, with excellent pacing. Furthermore, each character has their own highlights, rather than simply showering the protagonist with all the glory. Finally, a word of caution: I strongly advise against reading this if you're looking for a completely fast-paced, action-packed read from the start.
