Overall Thoughts:
⁕ Normally books with so many POVs have portions that drag, but Chockshi largely avoids this common pitfall. Each of the characters is so well-developed, each with their own identities, background, and emotional growth. I was never preferential towards one over the others.
⁕ There are some pretty intense puzzles that are solved by the characters, many of them involving math and geometry. My brain does NOT work this way, but the drawings and explanations made what would have been intimidating actually accessible.
⁕ The ending was throw-the-book-across-the-room type good. Without any spoilers, things got dark and the stakes got raised. I was super sad that I did not have the next in the series immediately on hand to continue reading.
