The worldbuilding was truly amazing and I enjoyed the mystery. I thought I had the twist figured out in the middle of the book and I actually didn’t! I loved all the characters in the main character’s family as welll, and Kirby might be one of my favorite dog characters in a book. My biggest criticism was that book had some very dark moments that were handled with very awkward lighthearted humor/dialogue and not given their full emotional weight, and that tone shift was unsettling. Some of the dialogue also felt a bit childish. Without those two issues the book would have been 4.5-5 stars for me.
