This was a fantastic read, and did many very cool things. It's rare for me to get this hooked this quickly, and I went through the whole thing in 2 days. The mood was thick, the characters interesting, the mysteries interesting. I loved so much about this book.
... except for the ending. And like, I get it, okay? I see the vision. I frankly respect the guts it took to commit to it, from an 'artistic' perspective I absolutely understand the choice. But as someone who does actually like answers, I would be lying if I said there wasn't some part of me dissatisfied with how things wrap up. Idk, I'm conflicted, because I truly do appreciate what the novel goes for on some level. But I also truly hate that I can't recommend this as one of the best pieces of detective fiction I've read without some qualifiers. Regardless, I'm glad I ended up reading through this. I imagine it'll stick with me.
