The first half of this book was super compelling, but the rest went on longer than it probably needed to. It felt like some parts were spoon-fed to the reader.

The story started well, and initially I was intrigued but then I felt I was reading a book from a different author. We delve into the past to unravel the secrets, and the truth worth killing for, but then the story lost its momentum as we alternated timelines and stories, to the point I nearly didn’t finish.

For most of the first two-parts, Pinky and the Brain get trapped in a mysterious village known as “The Land of Hats” which takes cues from “The Village”.
