Yep...

I dont know what to think, same problems blah blah yeah blah

Im still not the biggest fan how Elodie just up and disappeared when her entire set up was suggesting an entirely different story. If you were gonna introduce all sorts of new characters introduce them sooner bsbshsj. The pay off is also.. sbdh

The POV is currently favoring Leonard even though hes only been introduced halfway in, which throws in a bit of an unnecessary curve ball. A lot of his emotional arc just doesnt have the proper build up unlike Elodie. I miss my girl. Why tf did you just show up randomly with no rhyme and reason 💔

I feel like im starting to understand more of the actual story itself, and I have my theories. The whole POV switch into the ghost thing at the start was still pretty jarring though. I think this is one of the books where I cant really form my thoughts on it til the end tho

The constant jumping of POV's is a bit befuddling, it was introduced as a switch to ghostie pov and normal pov b now its just ghosts and we still dont know shit abt the mystery. Like the idea of dropping hints via ghost povs is cool but the delivery is so confusing ;w;

Interesting set up if not a bit cliche, actually having a character that I feel like I can actually know is refreshing though.

Some flashbacks (?) Feel poorly integrated for what their purpose is, and further add to confuse the narrative rather than add mystery too it, but im a big fan of the characterization and setting, and the environmental descriptions are beautiful
