I had this book on my tbr a while before I actually read it which meant I didn't know anything about it anymore. So to anyone contemplating reading this book: do it but don't have any expectations. The plot: For a 300 pages book, you can't really expect a too complicate story with a lot of plot twists. There was definetly enough suspense to keep me reading till the end but had the book been longer it probably wouldn't have been enough. The charaters: I was really impressed by the amount of characters with different values and origin stories R.O. Kwon was able to include in such a short story. Even though I couldn't really reate to any of the characters and wasn't too invested in them something about them made me want to keep reading. The writing: The writing style in general is kind of hard to describe and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. For example every dialogue is written in reported speech which definetley took some time getting used to but it was something different that I didn't expect. The book is told in different characters point of views - something I really enjoy if it is done in the right way. And this book definetely was able to pull that of. The writing changed according to each characters individual personality so that's definetley a big part of why I liked it. In conclusion this is not one of the best books I ever read but because I didn't expect that much I was actually surprised how good it was.
