Imagine all the fun duality that left unexplored. For shame, surely not what Raskolnikov should've taught you! At the end of the day, this reader was simply disappointed by the lack of self-directed questioning in a novel seemingly contemplative, whose criminal elements were chronically of secondary importance to begin with. Guess we're just out to hunt down the bullies in an attempt to lick our wounds for this one. But what is lost remains lost all the same.
Graphic: Animal death, Murder, and Animal cruelty

I enjoyed the plot, and the main character was written so vividly. Really liked the mystery too, and how it developed.
Also super recommend for vegans and/or people into astrology.
My only complaint is that, while the plot was engrossing, it never really evoked any emotions from me.
