600 pieces, Optimago. The usual Optimago strengths--subtle colors that only reveal the picture once it's assembled. 3/5
About my ratings
Perhaps because of my day job, I'm a tough rater. Everything 3/5 and above I consider worth the time and money. If I purchase on Etsy or a similar platform and the puzzle is as expected, I will give a top rating on the platform because of how seller ratings work, but here "as expected" is probably a 3/5 in most cases.

Unpainted puzzles
214, 225, 288 pieces, LeColimaçon. French puzzles (via Etsy)--the lack of painting means that it's all about the shape of the pieces, which I enjoy. The puzzles are thin plywood, more like Wentworth than the thicker hand-cut pieces I'm more used to, but I enjoyed the challenge. My daughter may paint one or two of them ultimately. 5/5

Tree puzzle, WoodTwoArt
58 pieces--trying something a bit different. The pieces were a little rough-edged for my taste, but it was still an interesting difference. 2.5/5
