Rating: 3.8 out of 5 / 7.6 out of 10
The concept of this novel is unique and interesting, its implementation convincing. Already the first chapter is able to pull in the reader even though the story might be hard to follow at first due to the characters being introduced as just letters. But there is a good reason behind that, and it gets solved soon enough.
While the quality of it drops significantly over some chapters in my opinion, there is always a certain extent of suspension throughout the novel which keeps you reading nevertheless. And to follow along is worth it, since the story gets really exciting especially around the middle part presenting some good plot twists. Around that time, also the characters are subject to interesting and logical changes, becoming distinctive individuals slowly but surely, each with their own background and likeable or repulsive traits. I have to admit though that there is no character really to my liking, and sometimes they also appear too shallow or illogical from my point of view, but that gets covered up with a good enough explanation and the background of the story in general.
Towards the end, the niveau of suspension might drop a bit yet you still want to keep on reading in order to see how their journey ends and to get an answer to all your questions. Regarding questions and mysteries, there are appearing some scattered along the storyline, each of them giving the novel some extra spice, all of them being cleared in a satisfying way at the latest in the end. The end might be not to everyone's taste, but it keeps us readers looking forward to more.
Overall, especially if you are interested in the concept behind the story, you should definitely give it a try. And if you like it, please support the writer as I see great potential in them. Thank you very much.
All the best,
