I thought that Rafael’s previous trauma felt underdeveloped. It was talked about a lot but didn’t dive really deep into the nitty gritty. Same with Ellie’s. The first 50% of the book felt very slow as well.

I’m getting into mysteries so this was a hard one for me.
The first 75% of the book was very dialogue heavy, and there was little insight into what Hercule was thinking. Because of this, the story felt slow at first and boring. It was hard to distinguish any of the characters and their personalities. The last 25% of the book ramped up, but I guess because this book is so dialogue heavy and not much narrative that I felt it was lackluster.
