Content warning Somewhat spoiler-ish regarding the ending
Ok, so I‘ve read Woom before this which is probably the reason why was always on edge, waiting for YIKES moments that didn’t quite happen that often, at least not in all their glorious detail. That’s not the books fault, tho! I really liked the setup and that I didn’t have to go though 300+ pages of exposition until things started to get going. What I noticed, tho: I didn’t really care about most of the characters because I barely got to know them, so whatever happened to them didn’t quite phase me. The only character I was rooting for was Henry, really. Heh, lucky me! I was surprised when the book ended so suddenly, I wanted to tag along some more because things just seemed to get REALLY interesting! Dear author, if you ever write a sequel, I would grab it as soon as it came out. I‘m invested now.
