I'd go as far as saying this was ok but it's not my usual genre and hot something I've really read before so thought I'd come out of my comfort zone and give it a go. Sadly fantasy/mystery thriller just isn't for me.
Way too many short chapters and so many POV's that I was left going back and forth and losing my bearings. It wasnt easy to tell each POV apart which I found quote problematic at times. There were at least 4-5 that I can think of off the top of my head. I suppose this is where the character list at the beginning comes in handy.
In my opinion it just didnt flow at all and had no consistency in the way it was written. Strangely short chapters that felt they were ending on something important but the next chapter would start in exactly the same place, random tweets and transcripts thrown in and the structure just ended up feeling messy.
I tried, I really did but I will most definitely not be reading this genre again.
Oh but I did enjoy the plot twist at the end though!
