But then I feel like the story suddenly revolves around itself for way too long before any kind of official explanation is given, and when there is finally one it's not very surprising, which maybe wasn't the intention anyway but the absence of said explanation was so loud that it felt like there should have been some new element. That also extents to the plot twists,
And the last pages, the finale one could say, felt very very rushed as if there wasn't enough time and frankly not enough ideas on how to resolve it.
I still stand by the fact that the foundation of the story was really great and I haven't had my imagination run that wild in a long while. I will definitely check out other books by Schwab but I think I'll also be hunting for a book with a similar vibe and a more fitting ending to feel a little more closure.
