Oh my. That was so much better than I expected. I’m reeling and lost for words to describe my thoughts. I def recommend it.
There are some flaws in the writing and plot that I’d want to change/edit which is why I had a hard choice between 5* 4.5* and opted for 4.75* because it doesn’t meet my fierce criteria for perfect five stars. But I loved this and planned to reread it more than once so I figure those flaws aren’t material.
I spotted some of the plot twists but not others. I am grateful somethings were elusive. There are clues. And some twists too too long to be spotted by our main characters.
