I really enjoyed this novel. The characters were very sensitively portrayed and the plot was intriguing and engaging, and also very distressing throughout. The ending was satisfying and no loose ends were left. One of the best novels I’ve read this year!

Deze dikke thriller geeft een uitgebreid beeld van het leven de hoofdpersonages. Soms zelf iets te breed. Het verhaal is erg uitgebreid, maar hierdoor raakte ik soms de draad kwijt. Ik had het gevoel dat een hele hoop informatie overbodig was. Het concept van dit verhaal is wel heel uniek. De manier hoe kunst hier wordt beschreven en verwerkt vond ik erg mooi. De schrijfstijl is ondanks dat het erg uitgebreid is wel goed en duidelijk. Het leest vlot weg en ik had geen moeite om dingen te begrijpen. Ik vond het sterk dat op het einde heel veel dingen logisch werden. De puzzelstukjes vielen voor mij op zijn plek. Stiekem had ik gehoopt op een goed einde voor twee van karakter, eventueel een kleine liefde🫣. 

Het boek bevat ook een aantal duistere onderwerpen, dus ik denk dat je je hier wel goed van bewust moet zijn.
