Honestly Fitzek‘s writing was absolutely amazing, like always. The story itself was good too. Again his plot twists are just amazing, even though I am not sure if the ending was as good as it could‘ve been. I‘ll explain why when you continue to read but there will be a huge spoiler.

*SPOILER AHEAD*

One of the people in the book has DID (Dissociative identity disorder) and as someone who watches a lot of youtubers that have DID and talk about how they feel about how the media presents the illness can be really toxic for the community, I can see how this character again is an example of that. Since this character is one of the villains in the story, which might be again something that increases or solidifies the stigma around DID. So I don‘r know how to feel about that part of the story.

Description:

It is the eighth of the eighth month, at eight o’clock p.m.
You have 80 million enemies.
Will you survive the EightNight?

This is not a mental game, it is dead serious. It is mass-psychological experiment that got out of hand. And your name has been picked from the lottery pot …

Just imagine there is a death lottery. You can put the name of a person you hate into the lottery pot. In the EightNight, on the eighth of August every year, a name is drawn from all the entries in the pot. The person drawn from the pot is outlawed for one night during the EightNight. Everybody in Germany is allowed to kill this person without having to fear any kind of punishment – and the killing is rewarded with a bounty of ten million euros.
