Huh. As far as mysteries go these were interesting but not completely satisfying. All of the loose ends weren't tied up, unless I missed some things. I don't need every loose end tied up if it makes sense to leave them loose but this doesn't feel complete to me. Even when the answers were given us I felt unsure. On the other hand the characters were completely vivid and will stick with me. I felt like this book makes a good case for not wanting to be in anyone's head but my own. Some things are better left unknown. I guess my point is- this author gave me a bunch of information I didn't want and left out some I wanted.
