The writing is quite different from what I’m used to, so it took a bit of time to be able to read it smoothly.
I really liked the settings, the idea of dual characters - I’ve never really read anything with that kind of world
I wish the author explained it more in details like what’s up with the night/day children?? but at the same time I like how there’s still a bit of mystery that remains

I also really liked how we switched point of views in the middle of the story - it was quite unexpected. I could’ve guessed it but I guess I’m not that smart

The description of the world itself lacked a bit of definition but I didn’t mind it being overlooked because I was there for the investigation and not a politics thing :)
The mystery/investigation was well done and I was always wondering what was going to happen next. The ending was getting more and more obvious by the end, but I think that was intentional to better define the characters.
Although, the ending scenes were a bit chaotic, I did not mind it - it felt adequate in order to represent the criminal.
