[audiobook]
i never got super invested in the main characters tbh so i think that's why this was overall an average read for me personally. the plot/mystery itself was delightfully coherent with no annoying loose ends, so that was really enjoyable and satisfying.
listening to the audiobook confused me a little though -- sometimes i couldn't keep all the names straight, especially with the amount of twins and other sibling relationships, but it wasn't a huge deal. unfortunately, i really didn't like malcom's narrator, i felt he spoke weirdly formally and stilted so that made it kind of awkward, but i mostly got used to it by the end.
