Firstly found the 1st volume of this book from a challenge, got hooked and decided to continue the 2nd volume. It was a fitful finale, each page makes you wonder if you've concluded the final judgement for each character and their relationship with the world around them, or if the case would ever be solved. Solid ending, I love the conclusion for each of them. Realistic, I can see most of these happening in the modern world. Some details and things happening here are unnecessary and dragging. The slow-pacing was challenging, and the english translation was a bit difficult to follow, but I learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience. I recommend this to every one who loves literary fiction and mystery.
