This was quite a thrill read. The plot starts off slowly but then it really ramps up in the second part. The story is mostly told from Theo's persepective but we also see moments from Gus and Mac, adding more depth. The ending is really well done and i loved how it all came together. The truth of everything is so clever and twisted. I found myself hooked from almost the start and was desperate to see how it would end. #Netgalley 4*
I love this series. Supposedly this is the last book. This is book 11.

Second book in the Scarlet Revolution series suffers from #MiddleBookSyndrome
The plot dragged on. It was too much about Eleanor being in her own head and asking the same questions over and over. The second half of the novel picks up the pace a bit, but by that point I was tired of reading "What would Sir Percy do?" or "If only Sir Percy was here," as well as reading about Eleanor getting into trouble just to prove her point.

How to write a fantasy-ish computer game recap with lots of gore, sexual content/violence, self-harm/suicide from a female POV and fail at it.
Davi is the centre of her universe. Whenever she dies she respawns at the beginning of her adventure and has been doing so for over a thousand years. Yes, that would blunt the edges of any of us, but she was too blunt to be likeable.
DNF @ 22% - there was nothing that enticed me to read on.

Sakurai‘s exam nerves meant that she didn‘t do as well as she expected and didn‘t get into her preferred school. A teacher offers to write her a referral to her dream school if she can get a truant student to start coming to school.

This was an ARC which isn't the final version, so some things might change. Hopefully, some things might improve, because this book really deserves some further attention. It was hard to decide between a soft pick or a So-so+, but I think it's the latter. I didn't like how one of the twists at the end was done, which was frustrating because it's a really nice idea that could have been explored much better. 1/2

Wow what a twist filled ride this was. I wasn't expecting some of the many twists in this. I did figure out James quite quickly but the rest was cleverly done, taking me by surprise. This is quite a fast paced read with a very dramatic ending. You just don't know what anyone is capable of and who is hiding what? The story jumps from the past to the present often in alternating chapters which are often quite short. #Netgalley 4*
