First of all... trigger warning if antique dolls freak you right out!
Acquired savant syndrome and synesthesia are fascinating to me so I liked that I was able to sort of experience those alongside Mike in a way. I also love puzzles. This book did have several of them that Mike had to figure out along the way, mostly of the word variety. At the beginning of the book, he is given an incomplete puzzle and tasked with not only figuring out what is missing, but find its solution. He is helped by several experts in different fields and has a wild adventure in (I believe) a 2 or 3 day time span. It definitely does give off Dan Brown vibes with a supernatural twist.
If you enjoy books that give your brain a workout, especially regarding theories of consciousness, you will definitely enjoy this one.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
