I also thought it was a standalone and then was absolutely floored by the bonkers pacing in the last 10%! I think if I’d know it was the first in a series I would have been less irritated by getting to the end and having several entirely new cans of worms opened up, when I was looking for resolutions. But it does make sense as a story with a sequel! I do still think there were an overly large number of twists in the last twenty pages, but I enjoyed the rest of the book immensely and will definitely read the sequel.
