I loved how surprising the plot twisted, it still made sense and didn't seem forced or unrealistic within this universe. The dread looms over you, you know it's coming but you don't know when or how and the characters are as 'clueless' as you which makes it even better to read. With clueless I don't mean that they don't try or that they are dumb, on the contrary; they have super valid theories and you root for them and you try to solve it with them, but the author is a genius playing you and your expectations for ya fantasy like a fiddle.
I loved how true the characters stayed themselves. How the author didn't dimish their personalities for plot or the reader's satisfaction. There is no black and white, no right or wrong. Everything has consequences, that will sooner or later come back to you even if it takes time and it's so great to read! Top book!
The only point of criticism I would have is, that it is fantasy with all that fantasy needs. Magic, ghosts, the power of a story, monsters etc. Which is not bad at all, but I won't be able get my non-fantasy-reading friends to read it and that is kind of a shame.
Their loss, loved it a lot 💕
