I enjoyed the mystery and the slow revelations. I also liked the character development. While I hated some of Patch’s actions, they did make since given his journey. The pace is slow, which I didn’t mind. However, I do want to mention in case you are more in the mood for a fast-paced mystery.
After finishing, I went back to re-read certain key parts knowing the information I was missing when I first read it, which helped me understand the themes better.
The one thing I disliked were the short chapters. I feel like this made the story disjointed and repetitive in some places. This did not stop me from enjoying and appreciating the book.
