Riddle Me This

I loved trying to solve each puzzle but sometimes wondered if the hints were too obscure or intentionally tricky. Did anyone else feel the same?

The riddles felt seamlessly integrated, but I’m curious if that was a challenge during writing or something planned from the start. Did the riddles serve a specific purpose beyond the plot?

The dark, suspenseful tone really pulled me in, and I wondered what influenced the author’s choices for the vibe and environment of the book.
