Such a smart and suspenseful book! I felt my heart rate rising with each new clue in Zelda’s game, and between surprising twists, not knowing what those twists meant, and a possibly unreliable narrator (this question kept me on my toes!), I truly did not know what would happen next. At first I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend time in this very dark and dysfunctional world, but the more I got to know the vivid and flawed characters and got into the game, the more I did not want to stop reading. The language is pretty flowery at times, but I enjoyed the verbosity; it felt appropriate for the indulgent and clever twins and I thought it made the book a pleasure to read. I would definitely recommend it to fans of mysteries, literary fiction, or readers looking for something a little unusual, so long as they don’t mind some dysfunction.
