I liked it and how mysterious it was but the writing itself was hard to follow along with. It was a bit too poetic for me to follow and I didn't really warm up to any of the characters at all because the dialogue didn't feel natural to me. Idk maybe it was intentional and I didn't grasp it.
Overall the concept was interesting. It was a slow burn but it was satisfying to have your suspicions confirmed over the course of the book.
