This was a super fun read. While I was confused quite a bit, it was more the intrigued kind than the annoyed. The twists were wonderful and a good middle between "way out" and "expected." It was quite funny and the characters were wonderfully characterized. I wish there weren't quite so many POVs but the transitioning between them within scenes was smooth and kind of nice in an omniscient but not in that boring 19th century omniscient way. I hope that makes sense. There wasn't much to upset me in this book. Some browner characters would have been lovely but I'm willing to let my opinion stay very high because there was so much else that was good.
