I love the idea of highly extravagant dollhouses hiding things and enjoyed the details of how the artist made all the intricate pieces of her houses. Plus, the added mystery behind the origin of the dollhouses had kept me wanting to know more.
I also appreciated how both FMCs are fully-fleshed, in so far as I was able to feel what they were feeling. There were a few poignant moments that really had me holding my breath for them.
