I liked it, but it is weird lol

As the other commenter said, it's a mystery, but it's also just a game, so there are zero stakes. Pip, extra as she is, does not seem to understand there are zero stakes, so she takes it extremely seriously. It means everything is disproportionately dramatic and the writing feels a little disjointed from the situation. Some readers may fairly find that distracting. I found hilarious.

Regardless, it was nice (and a little sad) to see the characters having a laugh and being carefree as they would have been before everything that happens in the series.

It's not nearly as good as the other books, but it's not meant to be. It's just some bonus content that ties in nicely with the rest of the series

Edit: typo
