The book started of interesting, but didn’t manage to keep my interest. The characters were bland, and the reasoning for what that was happening on the page did not hold the grounds for it to make sense to me. Like for example: they all know a certain character is a villain, and they have to team up with him. Later he does “evil” things and they are all shocked, as if they already didn’t know he was the bad guy? The whole book has too many different vibes for it to work for me as well, the pacing felt really off. So all in all, I didn’t really enjoy it, but was intrigued by some parts. 2/5 stars.
