The beginning of the book was promising, but after the will was revealed, I found the world-building to be somewhat dull. The atmospheric setting could have been crafted more effectively with the use of words. However, the book managed to regain my interest towards the end by introducing more intriguing puzzles. This made me realize that it lacked the quantity of puzzles I had anticipated. I longed for additional dark and atmospheric depictions of the property and its libraries. The scenes were too brief and left me wanting more, but not in an exciting manner. I certainly desired more descriptive details.
