i found myself most enthralled by the first half of the book. halfway through the story started to drag and didn't capture my attention quite like the beginning. while the second half didn't feel completely divorced from the first half there was a noticeable shift that i don't think lived up to what came before.
unfortunately, the book didn't live up to my expectations. there were elements i liked but not the story overall. mostly i am left feeling ambivalent. that said, i liked habib's prose. there were more than a few lines i had to take a moment to reread because of how they were written.
