<SPOILERS> I did find the ending to be disappointing but this is more of a personal preference. It just felt like it didn't match the tone of the rest of the book with it being all "oh everything turned out okay". I really wish he kept the tone dark or even left it more open ended. <SPOILERS>

And I do have to give this book a few points for not forgetting that the main character would definitely have PTSD from everything he went throw, like so many modern sci-fi and fantasy storys do.
However, most of the story is this style of writing I don't really like. is just: "this happened and then this happened and then that happened", over and over again. There is almost no time to breath and the description of things and people are very surface level.
Also, there was this anoying thing were the author just drops names of random parts of England with no further explanation or description of the place. Like, in sorry sir, but not everyone who reads this book has the map of all the streets of London memorised.
