This was my first read by David Lagercrantz, and despite being a short story, it completely pulled me in. It’s a slow start, which isn’t saying much given that it a novella, but the buildup was gripping. I would say it’s a fun little story. That said, the ending really didn’t work for me. It felt abrupt and unsatisfying, which left me conflicted. Still, I’d definitely be interested in reading more of his worK.
