4.0

This rating and review is on the audiobook. The narrators were good, though some sound fairly similar or as if they were the male voice of Pip's narrator. There were parts where the writing was odd, unrealistic that it made me cringe out loud. The mystery was definitely enticing with an ending that was not expected.

4.75

I only put 4.75 instead of 5 because there some of the topics included are of mature nature, but handled well by Jackson. Jackson weaves many parts together in a way that is congruent and flowing. Happy that I was able to track and figure it out.
