it was well written just a looong read for me. the characters and events were quite interesting I grew quite fond of some of the characters, and you really did feel the time passing, events that happened weeks ago in the book really did feel like they'd happened weeks ago.

after i'd gotten half way through I wasn't going to let myself dnf it, but it really did  feel like an accomplishment to have finished it :p
