I’ve very much enjoyed all previous Robert Galbraith books and television programs. But……this story wore me down. I felt it was very padded and the Faerie Queene quotes at the beginning of each chapter plus the inserts (not sure of the correct terminology) re: the diary-type entries got on my nerves so I soon stopped reading them. Nearly finished this book now and then on to the next one so hope I like it better than The Ink Black Heart. I feel fairly sue this will be made into a TV series so look forward to this and hope that it’s less ‘fussy’ and that I like it more than the book.

Just finished it! And now looking up reviews online. 😅 Agreed with you on the ending that it's a bit underwhelming considering the looooong pages of building the game and online world these characters were in. Would've liked a scene of them talking to Anomie after the discovery/everything that's happened because some things don't add up for me... or I just missed a few things. I was hoping for some drawings or some sketches of the game/characters like images shown in Troubled Blood. Would've wanted to see how the game is played and what some of the characters looked like. 😅
This book really should be read continuously unless you really remember a lot of details. But all in all I enjoyed it! Finished it in a few days and got really excited and into matching the real persons with their Twitter handles or names in the game and guessing who Anomie truly is.
