really fun and compelling! overall i really enjoyed this, although the last few chapters felt a bit waffly and it wrapped up a bit too neatly for my preference, and i found most of the dialogue incredibly awkward. i appreciate the inclusion of documents, letters etc in pessl’s books, it really helps build out the world very convincingly without overdoing the exposition.
