Lesson I learned: Never read the spoilers from Wikipedia before reading the book.
When I started reading this book back in 2023, I made the mistake of reading the spoilers from Wikipedia and was turned off on how the ending was and ended up reading other books.
However, after reading The Final Curtain, I couldn’t resist just trying to complete the book and I must say that even though I “knew” the ending, I didn’t expect the twists and the progress leading to the ending. This journey was very well written with some good twists that I didn’t expect. Many a-times I was asking myself on how I would have reacted if I was in the character’s position. There’s not much physical action but lots of mind actions.
Hence, I ended up kicking myself for not finishing this good book earlier.
On to the next book in the series….
