To be honest, the story had a lot going on and was confusing. However, where it shined was the writing style. I have never read anything so meta, self-aware, and fun. My favorite parts of this book were the breakdown of the fourth wall. Such a unique way of storytelling. About halfway through there was a chapter just telling the reader the most important points and all the players (there were a lot) in the story. This was the point in the story where I felt the most confused and this little bit helped so much, and basically solidified a 4* at least no matter what happened. Loved the reveal at the end , it was surprising and done so well. Classic detective-style in the parlor. The setting was really fun, you could feel the same cold as the characters. I am so excited for book 2, and it's on a train! It can't come soon enough. Hats off to the author, this was so unique and absolutely brilliant.
