A bit slow for me in the first half but then it gets crazy and it just keeps getting crazy.

Leaning toward 3.5 stars. Wonderful writing and creativity. I just don't like books with this trope (if you have read the book, you know what I am talking about).

Does this book used tired tropes? Yes.
Did I care? No.
I loved Ward's writing style and I was still engaged during--and after--the plot twists that came with the climax.

3.5/5
O un 4, por lo original que es la historia y el talento de Catriona Ward a la hora de escribir. Me pareció muy lento al inicio y no terminé de conectar hasta pasadas las 150 páginas, lo que hace que el libro se vuelva muy pesado y que pierda un poco de lo interesante, pero la otra mitad del libro lo compens bastante.
Recomiendo ir totalmente a oscuras con esta historia porque sino, se pierde el elemento esencial que es la sorpresa del final, y sin eso, sólo quedaría la buena escritura de Catriona y serían 2 estrellas como máximo.
