I did not like it 😬 Most of the time I was either bored or irritated, interspersed with short periods of false hope that the story might finally be getting interesting.
The writing was engaging, humorous and honestly very skillful, but it doesn’t make up for a story that just didn’t hold my interest at all. I would have DNF’ed after the first chapter if I hadn’t been so curious to know what people actually like about this book (I didn’t find out).
