I felt that there were too many characters and had trouble keeping them all straight.

Some of the book felt rushed and didn’t have the explanation that was needed.

Overall a good book, I enjoyed the themes and the mystery. Loved that the birds came back full circle.

This book did unsettle me extremely.
I hated that the dog died.
but honestly the characters were all kinda terrible so I honestly didn’t care what happened to them.
