3.0

This is the perfect example of a book where I loved the journey but was throughly disappointed by the final destination. The first 90% of this book had me fully immersed in this story but the eventual ‘whodunnit’ reveal was so disappointing, simply because it was played into a tired trope I’m really not a fan of (but sadly can’t go into as it’d be a big spoiler.) It just felt uninspired compared to the rest of the book, which was refreshing and engaging. That being said, I did enjoy most of my time with this book and would definitely read more of the author’s work. It’s just a shame the ending left me feeling rather frustrated.
