I liked this book but it is VERY different than the blurb. I recommend going into it without knowing anything about it.

Might have rated it higher of it didn't have repeated unnecessary racist slurs in it. Not sure if it's just the German translation or if it's a general problem of the book.
Overall, the story was engaging and a quick read.
