I feel like the blurb is misleading. I was expecting more relationship development between Bram & Crane, but that doesn’t happen until the very end of the book. I was also expecting them to uncover more of the mystery by the end, but the characters are still pretty clueless. It was also infuriating that the clues were laid out in a very obvious way to the reader, but Halle made the MMCs deliberately obtuse & they wouldn’t put them together until much later. I felt like a kid yelling at Dora that Swiper is behind her. It was fun & I’m invested enough to read Legend, but I’m not obsessed.
