The

it was a quick and easy read, compelling enough to get through fast. the book drew me in right from the first chapter and i liked the fast pacing of the first 10-20%. then it slowed, which made me impatient at first. then, once i had gotten used to the new pace, it suddenly picked up again in the end, which felt a bit off again. but overall the pace was okay. the writing itself was okay too - sometimes trying to be beautiful and poetic but it didn't resonate with me much. i also didn't connect to the characters well enough to be emotional in the end, even though i'm very prone to crying over books. it's the typical kind if book where you're trying to solve the mystery at the same time as the main character is also getting more and more information. the hints and sings are very obvious, but it took me a while to figure out what they meant. i caught on a bit before the big twist was revealed, which is just perfect in my opinion. but now that i know the twist i wouldn't particularly enjoy reading the book again i think. i don't feel like i missed important clues, which is something that makes me want to re-read books with lots if clues and a twist. it's a good book overall, but to me it's not a great one because it didn't move me much. it's not something i will be thinking about for long.
