2.75
Started too slow, ended too fast. Took me ages to get invested, and I only got through the first half because it was an audiobook. Then the climax ran through a couple different scenarios that were meant to be important and gripping but instead felt glossy and lacking detail. A couple character deaths that meant nothing to me. A punishment for an antagonist shown offscreen. I wish I liked it but I’m not sure I do.
