”I sit all alone with my story. Only the past, the distant past.”

I really, really enjoyed this book. The concept and execution is like nothing I've ever read or seen before. It's really slow-paced but it works so incredibly well for this story. The last third of the book was absolutely amazing. So many plottwists that were brilliantly hinted on in earlier parts of the story, but only really came to fruition towards the end. Bravo!!

The ending was a little underwhelming, I honestly have no idea how else it could've ended, though, so I'm in no position to complain tbh.
