I went into this book expecting much more of a science fiction element than was delivered. Scifi elements are mostly contained to slightly more advanced technology than we currently have.
The bulk of the story is focused on the murder mystery with some interesting world building around the alternative reality premise.
The resolution to the murder mystery was underwhelming for me.
Ashwiyaa's characterization totally flipped after the reveal that she was the murderer. Her motives felt weakly planned and just fell back on tropes about people with antisocial personality disorder.
