3.5
dark sad

The idea behind this story was great, but it ultimately didn’t completely work for me. It just got a bit confusing towards the end and jumped through time a lot, sometimes with too much detail and sometimes with not enough. The big reveal at the end was kind of disappointing and didn’t really solve the mystery posed at the beginning. I wished the dolls had been utilized differently also. I think the book just tried to do too much.

The ending was pretty bad, can’t lie, but I really really enjoyed the rest!

Left me wanting more in the best possible way.

Probably one of the best books I've read this year (and this makes book #43, just so we're aware of how much competition that is).
