    Reader note

    This book is completely unconventional; it's angsty right from the start, gets even more so around chapter 40, then has a plot twist around chapter 100, and then it just really gets to me. The author's main selling point is surprise; as long as you can patiently read up to chapter 40, it really gets better and better. The only worry is that it might start off okay but then get increasingly weak. This novel, however, gets better and better as it goes on. 👀
