There were like 8 twists, none of which were overly exciting. I didn’t find the final reveal that satisfying. I enjoyed the first ~75% of the book but the last quarter didn’t really pay off for me.

Started slow but picked up halfway through. Wasn’t super impressed with the resolution, but the ending has me considering reading the next one.

I struggled to get into the book for ages, the back story seems to go on for half the book before anything interesting happens..
