This book is actually quite poorly written, and at first, that’s all I could notice. But as the book progressed, I noticed it less and less and even forgot how poorly it was written until I’d suddenly stumble on what was clearly a proofreading error. That was annoying whenever it happened. However, the reason I kept forgetting the writing quality was because the story was strong enough to compensate for it. The two central characters were very easy to root for, and the villain was deeply contemptible, which made the story itself strong enough to earn itself four stars.
