Not gonna lie, I'm glad I finally managed to end this book. Not because it was bad, but because it was, indeed, a lot.
Which is to say: I enjoyed almost everything that went on. Even if it was incredibly overwhelming in the beginning, and a few times along the way.
But what can I say, I'm a sucker for weird and quirky character design, more or less emotional storylines and big mysteries that want to be unraveled. And there's more than enough of all those things in this book.
The only real downside for me would be the relation the story has with its female characters. All of them have to be saved at some point, all of them are reffered to as "Dame", "Honey" and "darling" by the strong Mister Detective-man. That's not how that works anymore.
