This book has an interesting premise but it moves so slowly that I found myself questioning whether I really liked it or not. 
I was also very thrown off by The Boy That Lived trope that becomes glaringly present in the first quarter. 
There are definitely parts that are dark and scary, but I somehow felt confined even though the story skips around the globe.
I didn’t finish this book because I didn’t want to do the work to plug through everything to get to the point. 
I was very disappointed because I was initially very excited about this book.
