This had such an interesting setup, and I really wanted to love it. The whole book within a book idea is clever, and I liked trying to piece together what was real, what wasn’t, and where everything was going. It definitely keeps your brain busy in a good way.
That said, it felt a little distant for me. I never fully connected with the characters, and even as things got twistier, I found myself more impressed with the structure than actually pulled into the story. The pacing is on the slower side too, and at times it felt more like a literary puzzle than a fully immersive mystery.
Overall, I’m glad I gave it a shot. It’s smart and unique, and I can see it really working for readers who love layered, meta storytelling. For me, though, it was more interesting than gripping, and it didn’t stick with me the way I hoped.
