4.0

Honestly, probably a 3.5 but rounded up because the experience of reading this and the sheer writing/publishing task made it extra. If you're very into puzzles and cyphers, this would probably be a 5. It feels like the kind of book that you could spend a decade of your life dissecting.

Read the physical book. Don't look up too much online.
It's slow paced because there are so many layers, not because it doesn't hold your attention.
