I did not love this book. Tons of action, certainly violence, but disjointed motives, and I felt emotionally flat, and skimmed a lot. Too many points of view for me to become absorbed.

Here is where I want to give the author all sorts of credit, and go to bat for her. The “cast” was diverse, and I love that. But I don't believe it was unbelievably diverse, as I've seen said in a lot of reviews. A handful of PoC and a few people who fall under the umbrella of LGBTQA+ does not seem implausible even for a small “white” school. Sometimes when people are underrepresented, when they do show up, sometimes readers or viewers are left with an inflated perceptive of how prominent they are.
