A surprisingly entertaining thriller. I genuinely could not figure out who the major villain was or what the overall scheme was until it was actually presented. There wasn't a lot of action, but that actually really worked for the story. The majority of the suspense really came from Dorothy, the main character, constantly feeling like she was being watched. She never knew if anyone around her was out to get her or not, which was elevated even more with the fact that she was so far from home. I will admit there were a few decisions that the main character made that I didn't really agree with so a few plot threads concluded in a way I didn't enjoy, but these didn't affect the overall plot.
This book had a really interesting way of world-building that I enjoyed a great deal. You are dropped into the setting without really getting any explanation and you are never really handed it through the whole book either. It starts a bit confusing, but context clues really put the pieces together and everything makes sense. I really admire this and found it to be a really big draw to this book, though the characters were also interesting and helped keep things flowing well.
