Again, I tore myself from Batman online fanfics for long enough to finish this book. The description for Koyto and its landscapes and festivals are amazing, the writing isn't bad, the slow-blown mystery is subtly-written and pretty clever, but I like none of the characters and root for none of them neither. The only things that stand out about characters are the MCs' personality is her obsession with art and paintings, and the mysterious female painter's femme fatale aura; .
It is an okay book, but it seems only lukewarm to me, so 3 stars only.
