lilatov's review against another edition
4.5
However. I did find that the last third of the book was rather anti-climactic. There were two "big reveals" at the end, one of which was not a reveal for me / it was something I understood to be true and thought was meant to be understood to be true from rather early on in the book, and the other wasn't really a surprise either, it made sense for the progression of the book because we knew that there was going to be this reveal.
So another amazing book with a somewhat lackluster / disappointing ending :(
