While the book establishes an interesting premise in the opening chapters, I was disappointed that the story failed to develop or progress in a meaningful way as I continued reading. For many pages, often spanning whole chapters, the narrative seemed to get stuck repeating the same scenes and scenarios without advancing the overall plot. Around the halfway point at page 248, I noticed the story was still following the same repetitive patterns of character behaviors and interactions rather than unfolding new events or revealing deeper layers to the mystery first introduced. This lack of narrative momentum left me feeling frustrated, as the early promise of an engaging mystery or character drama was not delivered on. The repetitive nature of the writing made it difficult for me to stay engaged or invested in what would happen next. As a reader, I want a story to evolve and take me to new places, introducing surprises and revelations along the way. Unfortunately, this book got stuck in a rut and did not satisfy my desire for progression of the central storyline. While the setup intrigued me, the execution ultimately fell short of taking the narrative to the next level in a truly compelling way.
