This novel was so satisfying to read it was like a mystery I was solving with each chapter. I found the characters were very specific and almost had an NPC quality to them. Characters like Crisp felt like they would have been a character in Stardew Valley. Although that could have been a turn off for some people I enjoyed it. Either way and interesting read!
