Incredible. (Love the cover 10/10)

Love all of it. It took me a while to get into the story, but that is a me-thing, not because of the book. The build up was good and the characters realistic. There were some twists that I did not see coming. And they made sense, so double great. Spoiler ahead: The ending is okay for me. The best we could hope for. And while I like Mouse, I did not exactly see them falling in love. Yes, there were signs, but I didn't exactly feel it. So the ending is fine with me. But I also don't critisize that I couldn't feel the feelings between them, it kinda fits the writing and the rest of the story. So while logically I critisize a few things I loved the book and emotionally am happy with everything. Things that I would have loved to happen: - more Henry. He seemed like the only normal person. Would have loved to see a friendship between them. - a final talk between Pom/Cascabel and William (and Leo) - more Knox. Loved him. He had a bigger role than anticipated but still, the ending felt abrupt.
