The thing with this book is that it is slow and the way it’s written at the beginning takes a lot of getting used to.
The first part was slow and agonizing and then you get to a great story and then it gets slow again. The second half of the book was definitely better and if you can get passed the first half then it is a good story with a very long dragged out ending that honestly just made me wish I had DNF the book.
