3.5 stars
For the most part, I enjoyed this book. I did think it lost its way toward the end. Everything got very convoluted and some of the character motivations were a little shaky to the point of implausible, but I still ended up enjoying the story.

I wouldn't say I was shocked by any one reveal. Most of the things that happened were theories I had at one point or another while I was reading.

The ending of this book wasn't entirely satisfying, but there was a sense of hope for the characters that I wasn't expecting.

For a debut I thought this was a really interesting story, and the writing kept me engaged throughout. I'm interested to check out future books by this author.
