Is it possible to love 30% of a book so much it’s a 4 star even though I skimmed the other 70%?
I got Holmes vibes from Bryce always playing detective, not sure if I love it or hate it.

3.0

 It took me literally 4 months to read this book, and I will say that the first 90% of it dragged on. If I were to rate the book on just that, it would be 2 stars - I finished because I felt like I was committed, and I didn't actively dislike it, but it was not great. But the last 10% of the book really came in and redeemed itself. I can't wait to read the 3rd book and see how the story, and most importantly, the world building will grow!
