This was a slow burn whirlwind! I enjoyed the many layered mysteries surrounding Sundial and Rob’s past. I guessed some but was blindsided by others. The deep character studies were so impressive, as well as the depictions - and subversions - of abusive relationships and monstrous people. The atmosphere at Sundial was tangible. I also loved Callie’s unique perspective.
