A lot of buildup for somewhat of a lackluster ending. Saw the twist coming early on and the drama that ensued just fell short. I enjoyed the multiple POVs though it made dialogue difficult to process sometimes. Difficult to invest in the characters as they were all a bit unbearable (intentionally). Bonus points for beautiful setting and imagery!
