This was certainly one of the strangest books I've read in ages. Isserley is a fascinating character and I was hooked at the beginning, trying to figure out what was going on. Details about her and her actions are gradually revealed which really built the suspense. However I certainly enjoyed it a lot less after the reveal. It felt like it lost momentum and I didn't feel as invested after that.
