Very repetitive puzzles, it’s the same puzzles over and over and over and over, and none of them are strictly necessary to follow the very predictable, and very recognisable, story.

Silly fun to add a shallow fantasy narrative to the puzzles. The story is completely unrelated to the puzzles; you can complete all of the puzzles independently from the story. The book provided a nice way to relax in the evenings after work and I appreciated the fact that they did not get increasingly harder. Most puzzles were on the easier side, as I was able to complete a handful of them quickly in one sitting.

enigmista carina e intrattenitiva, ma nulla di straordinario, e la storia non ha bisogno di essere letta velocemente per ricordarsela (io l'ho iniziato il 25 aprile 2025 e finito il 5 agosto 2025).

ammetto che per un paio di "enigmi" mi sono aiutata con le soluzioni.

la cosa più pesante è che alla fine sono sempre gli stessi enigmi in chiave diversa per adattarli a quel momento nella storia.

This is the first narrative puzzle book I have ever done and I loved it! A few mistakes like names changing halfway through the book and mistakes in the wording of some puzzles. But overall a really fun and stimulating read.

Enjoyable read and reasonably good puzzles, challenging but not frustrating.

Qua verhaal: matig
Het spelelement in het verhaal maakt het heel leuk

Does this book do anything new, interesting, or particularly smart? No. But did I have a good time nonetheless? I sure did! It's just good, silly fun
