Interesting plot, but oddly written
Not sure if it a quirk of the translation, but this book seems to reflect an attitude similar to books written in the late 19th and early 20th century- it briefly tells the reader about the main character (and only the main character) rather than devoting any significant time to character development of any of the characters, then the book rushes straight into the complexities of the plot, all the while leaving significant details completely unspoken until the twisty turns and plot reveal near the end.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the read, but it felt like this novella was an unfinished draft of what was intended to be a much more complex and richly developed novel and so I was left feeling underwhelmed.
