This book kept me on my toes for it’s entirety. It is a mystery unlike any I’ve ever encountered, and there was a very unexpected twist towards the end of the story that shook my entire understanding of how the events of the story had played out, in a good way! This twist then made me look at everything leading to that moment in a new light, and then everything started clicking into place.
