Hmmm. Ummmm… well, that was weird. This was not a quick read for me at all. It started off well, but the story became increasingly outlandish by the page. The *thrilling* aspects were missing and I didn’t find myself racing to turn the pages. Were there even any twists in this book? The format was extremely clever—the author promises to tell no lies and reveal clues clearly and succinctly—but the story itself just didn’t suck me in. The many characters, names, and intertwining events were distracting rather than enhancing. I will still check out the upcoming HBO series, but meh. I can’t help but compare this book to Daisy Darker, and I really didn’t like that one either.
