I’m not sure where to begin. Is it just me, or has the quality of this story taken a sharp decline? It started with a sense of mystery, drawing us in through subtle storytelling—showing rather than telling. Now, the writing feels overly narrative and descriptive, abandoning the nuanced approach that made it so compelling. I even considered this one of my top 10 reads when I first started, but as the plot unfolds, I’m honestly questioning that decision, feeling a bit embarrassed for having ranked it so highly so early. The uniqueness of the characters and the plot makes this all the more disappointing. It’s frustrating to see the potential being squandered by such a drastic shift in storytelling.
