A fun, escape room mystery. Very plot-based with lots of cute problem solving. There's also a good, overarching message about friendship and perseverance—trying your best, no matter the situation.
While I really liked the premise, I thought the character development was a bit thin. The MC just wasn't very interesting. And the conclusion of the book leaned toward lackluster and uninspired—too fairy-tale perfect to maintain any semblance of believability.
Still, for those interested in escape rooms, there is some good material in this book. And the writing, itself, is solid.
Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released April 2, 2024.
