Pretty decent book, liked the plot twist towards the end, but the writing is somehow both convoluted and simplistic.
One of the best pieces of writing advice is to trust your audience. And while I appreciate the spoon-feeding to a certain extent, there comes a point where it’s a bit excessive.
Overall, I recommend reading it. Just not at the top of your reading list.
