This book is confusing? 

I enjoyed it but for what it is and its dark themes the way it’s written is very interesting, more akin to like a light little quippy romance. Which keeps it interesting but makes the points of levity of beheadings and all that seem way off? Maybe that changes in book 2 as Evie becomes more villain like herself and it’s from her perspective?

I’m not sure this complaint actually matters because obviously the book was written this way intentionally… I just struggle internally with like light ways of discussing murder I guess? Idk

Like I said though, I enjoyed it and will be going on to book 2 when it comes out. I do think the twist with her Dad is good and not super obvious.
