Enjoyed the first two thirds of this, and it was well written, but I feel that the way the plot moved and resolved was pretty feeble and unsatisfying

Almost got all the way through this but it was due at the library and was automatically returned. I wasn't really enjoying it so decided just to accept my fate on this one. Although the premise of the story was interesting, in practice I actually found the reading experience to be quite boring.

I DNFed this when I initially tried it a few months ago, but really enjoyed it the second time around. Collins is really adept at writing mood and tension, and I really enjoyed reading this story between Léo and Claire unfold. Some readers will find the lack of detail in this story frustrating, it doesn't have much detail about the game itself, but I don't personally need too much of that, and enjoted the story. It's very atmospheric, one for fans of A Discovery of Witches and The Night Circus
