This was such a fast pace read. I really liked the characters alot and the duel POV for both emma and ben. I thought that for stand alone the world building was solid and easy to follow. I thought the story had such a big extended cast and sometimes confused names and jobs but I overly loved the setting and the various characters we met. It was a super fast pace read the kept me invested and I did not want to put the book down. I just wanted more from the characters and for me to feel more invested in them. But it was a super fun read! If you like books lithe mortal instrument series, you may like this one as well!
