I was surprised by how propulsive I found this -- I enjoyed all the twists and turns and really wanted to find out more about what was happening.   The characters were definitely tropey (of a particular dark YA style of trope, it reminded me of Daniel Handler's The Basic Eight) but it was a fun time regardless.
