2.5/5
The cover of this book is very pretty so I was very excited to read this book, but what a disappointment. While it’s certainly true that this book fits the vibe of a cute cozy mystery, the book was mostly chaotic, vague, and all over the place. Many interesting things were mentioned, like the battle with Arlo’s ex, the past games, Arlo’s mental health, Thatch’s past, and the character's backstories (all characters seem amazing, but we know nothing about them!!). The pacing also felt off, at some points the story was quite slow, but most of the time it was so fast that the readers seemed to miss important details. The idea was good, but the execution was not.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it had a fascinating world and I loved all the characters but I felt like to much was shoved into this one book. It keep hinting at things that happened but never really got around to telling us about it. I feel that if this story was spread/expanded out over the corse of 2 or 3 books it would be so much better!! I also found the pacing felt off in places compared to other parts of the book and it had some spelling/Grammer errors that really took me out of the moment but over all a sweet story.

One of the best books I've read. Had me enthralled from start to end. THE PINING OH MY GOD THE PINING. JFC I felt like I was being edged for the majority of this book.
I thought I was put through the emotional ringer with Song of Achilles. This really just set me on such a roller-coaster. I couldn't stop reading this. I need more Arlo and Thatch.
