The Failures

What an unique debut novel!

The characters, the worldbuilding and the plot are all so very interesting. Liar does an amazing job in creating this haunting and oppressive atmosphere. There is mystery on every single page and it’s very rewarding when some of the puzzle pieces come together!

However, some of the pieces don’t come together at all and Liar makes you work for it. I liked this book, but I can imagine that a lot of people will struggle with it. It suffers from the same things that Gardens of the Moon also has, being a little bit too overwhelming or needlessly complicated at some points. There is very little explanation to anything, especially in the first 75% of the story.

Personally, I can’t wait for the next book!
