    The ending is brilliant. "Three days later, when the stone is used, the shadows of people on the street will no longer grow long." Echoing the unusual shadows at the beginning, this single sentence neatly closes the suspense while simultaneously introducing a new twist. The author doesn't rush to unleash a major plot twist, but rather strings together details one by one, like beads on a string. This patience is the most reliable guarantee of the book's quality.
