characters embracing their passion for something and nerding it out combined with a murder mystery and a secondary mystery to be solved

ꜱᴘᴏɪʟᴇʀ-ꜰʀᴇᴇ Rambles 💭 
I really liked this book, I was intrigued from the beginning and it was easy to follow along. 𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺- it’s not overwhelming with map knowledge or lingo at all. 
I enjoyed each character getting their moment to explain the past from their perspective and giving their input on the things that led to the present day. 
I will say, after a while the book felt like it 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 and some parts at the end felt unnecessary since the book already felt complete. BUT, the ending was sweet and I appreciated the open ending!
