So this was kind of a weird one, and a book of two halves. I think the first half really sets up the mystery and keeps you guessing, while the latter half is a real slog through interior ramblings. It ended up making a short book feel very long. I just wanted something to happen! And then that ending… was a thing that happened. I suppose a point was being made, but it kind of felt like a waste of time to me.
