This never quite clicked for me. The characters, even the narrator Anna, aren’t very well-developed. I appreciate the message but wanted a more satisfying story and ending.

challenging dark mysterious slow-paced

3.5

It took a while to really get me, but when it did I was thrilled. I came up with various theories as I read, but the unravelling of the plot twists still left me surprised - it's really not as predictable as it might initially appear to be.
