I haven’t done a choose your own adventure since elementary school and this brought back fond memories! This was a fun, immersive fantasy mystery that kept you on your toes either with puzzles or the wild story unraveling.

This Who-Dunnit mystery is told by a variety of characters and they all have their own goals, this could be good or bad aspirations but all are interesting. This tale has crazy turns, with a hilarious always updating family tree, and some serious family drama. 

I also appreciated the emotional moments in this it spoke about grief in a very honest and touching way.

All in all- i enjoyed this and the story unraveling kept me engaged. The puzzles were a little difficult and sometimes they took me out of the story but I still enjoyed them a lot.  I do think this book would be better physically to complete the puzzles in the book!
