The Other Side of Night

Up until the big reveal that carries you through the final 1/4 of the book, I was absolutely riveted. Couldn't put it down. Super invested in every single character and the mystery at the center of the novel. But once THE SECRET is revealed, I must admit I felt a little let down. The writing remains beautiful and the plot remains well constructed; I just felt like it came out of left field and I found myself feeling like I was suddenly reading a different book. This falls just short of 4 stars for me because for the majority of the book it was so wonderful and as mentioned, the language is absolutely gorgeous.
