I absolutely adored this. I listened to it and the reader was wonderful, but mostly it’s just so well plotted and the characters unfold and develop in this slow, mysterious way that’s ultimately incredibly satisfying. You don’t have any idea what’s going on for the first half of the book, but it’s not really disorienting because the main character, Emmett, doesn’t either. The gradual unfolding of the story and the secret at the center of it is so beautifully done.
