It was good. I enjoyed the mystery surrounding how he ended up in the House, and then the lore
of the Prophet and those guys researching the house.
And I guess I liked the idea of
old memories flowing from our world to this House, and then flowing continuously onwards.
But I did find the ending a bit flat. I don't think it was bad. It's just that all the interesting mystery and lore was already revealed by that point. It felt too neat in the end. The story itself wasn't as much of a labyrinth as I had hoped, especially from the beginning introduction to the House.
I hope that guy learns to lead a happy life outside of the House.
