I really wanted to love this book, but overall found it a bit slow and predictable. Glad I stuck with it, but won't read again.

It was a good book. The beginning was intriguing and had me wanting to continue but it wasn’t a strong compulsion. It wasn’t until at least halfway through that I didn’t want to stop reading and wanted to know what we were going to find out next. And bonus, there are some good recommendations for books throughout.

I was going to give this a three until the last 30 minutes of the book. The reveal wasn't super surprising but I liked the wrapping up of the loose ends at the end of the book.
