a mystery that my brain is still struggling to comprehend.
i have heard a lot about leigh bardugo and, by the synopsis of this book, i thought this would be a great first dive into her writing. although i fairly enjoyed this book, i can’t say i paid much attention or even understood a lot of what was going on. bardugo’s writing is not complicated at all, i think that i am not accustomed to reading mystery books.
unlike stephen king’s comment, i did think about putting down this book, but i kept reading it in hopes i would understand it a bit more. it was a long read, that seemed like the plot was never ending, and i have to say that the jumps from present to past were a bit confusing at times.
nonetheless, i think it was a nice book, i am just not sure if i will keep reading this series.
