How many thrillers have you read that take place at 8000 meters? For me, that answer had been zero.
I very much enjoyed the writing in this book. It didn’t feel forced or unnatural.
There were quite a few characters, but it wasn’t so many as to be confusing. The main character, Cecily, was very relatable and I was definitely rooting for her to make it to the summit.
Red herrings are the name of the game in this book! Just when I thought I had things figured out a wrench was thrown in the works and I had to rethink things. There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle and I really enjoyed trying to work it out.
I thought to myself several times how well researched this book was and then at the end of the book the author shared that she had actually climbed the mountain herself. She did a spectacular job conveying that!
This book was atmospheric and creepy in the best way! I could *hear* that whistle.
