Seskis is a master at weaving her plot and creating twist after twist, and the ending was a sublime surprise that had been supremely disguised in the rest of the novel. I imagine that deception and secret keeping are amongst Seskis' talents! This is not just a story with a twist though, but handles emotion with empathy and artistry and I genuinely grew to care for and grieve with the characters. A great fun read that kept me page turning right to the end with gripping eagerness.
