Absolutely tantalising, gripping, and mind blowing.

The plot and the characters are smooth, and very, very well thought out. There is so much mystery, delicious sub-plots, and beautiful character flaws that make everything so human, and so surreal.

For so much of the story, any inkling you have for what's coming is dashed and you are left with whiplash. Towards the end, I had no idea who or what to suspect, and I loved it.

My only gripe is the super short chapters, which aren't needed. They add a slight disjointedness to an otherwise brilliant narrative.

2.75, rounded up.

The plot is good. The story is driving, intense, with excellent suspense.

Although I was correct in the end as to who the villain was (but had no inkling as to how heinous the depth the villainy went), I only had a niggle early on, and then the story was crafted well to direct you in many other directions.

What let it down, for me, was some of the personal traits of the main protagonist, and how superficially some aspects were written. Specifically in the vain of "a man writing a woman".

Glad to have read it, but not the best I've read.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

This is hands down a brilliant story. The plot is great, and the characters are relatable, deep, and intriguing. They make dumb choices, but relatable dumb choices.

The action is good, the suspense balanced, and the "what's coming next" is always just out of sight, so you are beautifully driven to read and read.
