This book was a lot of fun to read but also so creative in the way it uses the idea of language and translation as the thrilling element of the story.

It’s truly one of the most unique thrillers I’ve ever read and I love a book where there’s lots to analyze and interpret, and this definitely delivers. 

I will say in the middle, the pacing does drag a little bit but I still was invested in the story. But the twist at the end made it totally worth it and this becomes one of those books where you’re not quite sure what you read in a very satisfying way.
