1.0

This was not exciting or entertaining at any point and because of this book I'm finally going to give up on reading things just because they're popular, ya'll have questionable taste. 

This read like a middle grade, not a young adult novel, but a very boring middle grade novel with terrible dialogue. It was also predicable in some parts, and then the ending was really lack luster.  

I'm giving this one out of five stars, I did not enjoy this at all. 

I listened to this for free on libbyapp.com

This is not the type of mystery that the reader could piece together and solve, since a lot of the clues involve characters finding hidden compartments and passageways, or the characters only share the information needed to solve the next puzzle as they're solving it - it's not a whodunnit in that way. But it's entertaining and I read it really fast to find out what would happen!
