Well that was an intense start. Not much of a mystery so far but I’m curious to see where this goes. I’m also curious to see how things unfold without Saikawa and Moe for the most part. Based on the previous book, it seems like they don’t start getting involved until maybe halfway through?
And then it continues to tell us that she maybe has feelings for her brother… did 森博嗣 suddenly turn into an 恩田陸 clone?
Also I am far more intrigued by the backstory around said brother than by what is going on with the kidnappers… What is that mysterious event she mentioned that made the family lock him up? And will he survive this whole thing? I assume he has access to a bathroom so he can at least drink enough water. He should be ok…
I finally got around to starting this. I just have to pretend I’m in the Southern Hemisphere so it’s still summer…
Exciting start
I don’t have the slightest clue how this will tie into the previous book. I think Moe mentioned another incident at some point, but otherwise I don’t remember any loose threads or anything.
I’m guessing the brother is either dead or has disappeared. He’s in a locked room in a locked room mystery series after all.
My wife just started watching Pretty Little Liars, which also has a couple of mysterious stepsiblings, one of whom is blind. Surely it’s all connected
I can’t remember whether Tomoe showed up again in the previous book after she met Moe and then traveled back home I think Moe tried to phone call Tomoe at some point because she really wanted to tell her something and Tomoe didn’t pick up.
That’s indeed a hint that is pretty difficult to disregard!
