Goddamn it’s good. There are times when I found the writing a little irritating, but the story is intense and inventive. I glossed over quite a bit of the narrative because most of it seemed unnecessary for the development of the story, but overall it’s a very enjoyable read.

The book was pretty boring for the first half but then my favourite character was introduced and it became ten times more interesting. The plot twists were also pretty unexpected and enjoyable.
