I started out loving this, but it fizzled as soon as the “villain” (Wally) was described. I never really felt like they were that dangerous or that big of a deal. I was even more confused when I realized Nell's mother was still alive and literally lived in isolation for like 25 years because of Wally? And never saw her daughter. And let her daughter think she was dead. WTF? There was no way that was necessary lol. Could never get on board with that choice. O_O
Tons of potential because I really loved the idea of maps, cartography, secret societies, etc. But it ended up being a bit more dramatic than I expected (in like a “drama between friends" kind of way… I wanted more “high stakes secret society drama”).
