This book’s a good read if you like books with flawed characters. There’s definitely parts of the book that you have to interpret for yourself, which I liked. It makes you think about morals.

A solid book. I understands it’s importance but the first half was a slog. I actually put it down for 6 months and one day when I was bored decided to pick it up again. Finished it that afternoon. The second half was a lot better managed, or perhaps I was just in a different headspace. The characters were alright, the setting was more interesting.
