I really wanted to love this book. But I didn’t. I found a lot of the same issues I’ve seen others comment on. The chapters are insanely long. Maybe it’s my personal preference for shorter chapters but I found it irritating that they were so long. Additionally, the world this story inhabits is different enough from our world that explanation and details are needed and they’re not given in a timely fashion. I spend most of the book confused convincing myself that I shouldn’t give up because I was curious how it ended. But I wouldn’t recommend this really to most people.
The book took a turn in the second half and because really engaging. As the story line develops and the twists begin to turn the book becomes worth the read. I wish somehow the first half could be condensed into a few pages- they didn’t feel like they were needed to really get lost in the climax and resolution presented in the second half.
