5.0

Hard to put down, the pacing here was quite excellent. longest fiction book I’ve read in a long time and was scared to start it, but I didn’t have anything to fear. Finished within a week. 

Appreciated the formatting in the chapters - the parts and chapters were broken up well, but there were also breaks within the chapters that made it really easy to recall where I was and pick the story back up.
