I loved the entire experience of reading this book.
It gave me the same feelings I often had reading books as a child. I cannot remember the last time I felt so well immersed. It did a good job of dropping red herrings do I couldn't quite figure things out whilst also giving me enough crumbs that my fairy story loving brain was a buzzing!
I found parts of it quite dread inducing but in a fun way. Like it was surprisingly scary, I didn't expect it!
I connected a lot with the characters and some over arching themes about what desperation and bad luck can do to us.
Just genuinely very well done.
