The mystery was good and the plot twist was pretty unexpected, but the clues were all there which was nice. i did feel like the ending wasn’t given the proper amount of time as the realizations and solution came all at once at the last 10 pages of the book… I also didn’t feel like Anna got enough spotlight in the plot for the reader to fall in love with her or be attrached to her. I didn’t really know if I wanted to root for her or not + felicity coming in at the end felt very random. Overall, the build up, world setting, and plot felt well executed, just the conclusion and the final reveal didn’t feel as well thought out.
