this was GOOD!! took a while to get into and i was pretty bored for the first third but it came together fairly quickly and it tied up SO well in the end. i also loved the multiple plot twists and didn’t guess a single one

a hauntingly brilliant dive into the mysterious world of london theatre. while the storytelling is engaging and i LOVED the characters (even evans and nonesuch who reallyyyy pissed me off), some moments lack the depth needed to fully be immersed. i also found it quite difficult to latch onto but once it got to the 3rd act, it became very difficult to put down. overall i really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it
