AMAZING 5/5

The writing was simple and the trauma downplayed at times, but overall a quick read and insight into the mother-daughter relationship with immense manipulation

I picked up this book after seeing it was written by David Benioff (I’m a huge GOT fan) and I was far from disappointed. He tells a war-siege story with wit, humor, and mixes in some nearly unbearable gruesome scenes. It’s a fairly short read but entertaining and overall such a well written story!

Pros: beautifully and intelligently written, the overall story is wonderful but heartbreaking at the same time. Cons: the timeline gets confusing in some parts, there are areas that are very slow and drag, there are moments where I felt like I did not know what was going on.

I liked this book but I wasn’t particularly attached to any of the characters. Overall good plot and the concept of the Chain was realistically supported. 3 1/2 stars

I think the overall plot to this was good and I liked that different perspectives were shown. However, the constant back and forth between Tate and Miles is a bit overdone; I think the whole first half of the book is redundant and then the “resolution” at the end is crammed into too few pages. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

5 stars….up until the last ~50 pages. The ending was definitely a plot twist but it seemed like such a sudden change that it took a minute to comprehend. Almost too much going on with the already twisted story behind the murder.
