The story is told through the point of view of Thomas, the one remaining serving boy. The prose was clean, and I didn’t notice any obtrusive typos. The other characters had their roles and positions. However, I had difficulty appreciating them as characters/personalities, and that might be the reason I didn’t keep track of which one had generated/found/commented on which clue. I also had some difficulty getting my head round the layout of the castle, and therefore I didn’t really get a sense of how all the “clever tricks” were set up. Perhaps this is something that would work better in a visual medium such a film, or at least with some floor plans or diagrams.
Overall, this was a convoluted read for me. I don’t think this was helped by the various proposed solutions coming out in back and forth conversations, which somehow felt static. The different puzzles were certainly clever, but I didn’t feel quite so engaged with the story.
