about the book itself: • unboxing from the dark web gone wrong, got high after that, and then they're being psychologically and physically tortured • these buddies could die from lung cancer bcuz they smoke SMOKE 🚬🚬🚬

• really interesting friend group dynamics and you'll have some of the other characters' pov in their events so that's fun(not for them) and i really like how it keeps u anxious and waiting for what's going to happen next • im not really mad on how the characters written but i wish nadia and dira were written with more nuance • i love how creepy the horror elements were and yes i did find it terrifying, shocking and even disgusting

• downside would be constantly describing stuff unrelated to the plot in Sid's pov (main lead) its quite distracting • i don't need to see sid constantly telling us that they're like a family or sumth • the dialogues are a mix with malay+eng, but sum of them were really awkward in the early pages

• this book left with me feeling drained honestly, nice story, solid plot, a bit cruel(?) but oh well no one asked you to buy a mystery box from the dark web anyways so who am i to judge?

not for me personally, it was fun tho

No one told me that the Court of Owls Saga would be THIS INSANE???

Like fight club, if i hadn't known what the actual plot was, i think i would enjoyed this more. It's still a book worth reading if ur curious on how they found out about it. Moral of the story? uhhh express your 'negative' side in a more healthy way i guess bcuz suppressing it clearly doesn't do any good.

The characters were fine(?), if you asked me how many characters I could name in a span of 3 seconds I can only name 3
