Opinion
Personally, I found the first few chapters a little slow. But after that, the book was like a thrilling roller coaster! It has many enjoyable characters (which I loved) and some extremely well-written antagonists (who really made me mad!). I especially liked the plot twists, I couldn’t predict any of them. Overall, I rate this book 5/5 stars.
