Read this book in two days and in around 6.5/7 hours. Pretty good, picked it up from the library on a whim. The plot, in my opinion, takes a while to get going but once it does it doesn't stop. There are four POVs in this book, and while the author does do a good job characterizing them and separating them, I still got a bit confused a couple times during the beginning. The plot twists and mystery overall were well executed. I'd definitely advise checking the content warnings that people have left, as this book goes to a couple of dark places. I think there are a few paragraphs/sentences in this book that suffer due to the limits of translation as well.
I wish there had been more resolution at the end -- there's a little bit focusing on the main character, Nina, but I also really wanted to check in on Sigita and Mikas again, and even Anne.
