Where the book shines is in its concept and pacing: it’s a quick read with enough eerie and unsettling moments to keep you turning pages. However, the execution feels uneven at times. Some characters lack development, and the narrative can feel sparse or rushed, making it harder to fully connect with the emotional stakes. A few plot points also stretch plausibility, which dulled my engagement slightly.
