DNF at about 60%.

Here is the thing. This story has a bunch of characters, which I like. But then... it just feels like they are never properly utilised. They are quirky and fun, but we never really get to know them properly, enough to really understand why they do what they do. We get told a couple sentences hinting at their past, but it's never fleshed out. Things happen and it still feels like the story is just starting.
I lost my enthusiasm.

I don't think this is all bad. I just feel like something is missing. Something about the creation of this is incomplete and made me feel like a half-formed idea, where the characters and the places were created, but it was never brought together. Somehow the unifying top layer just wasn't in place.

I enjoyed this book a lot! The best part of it for me was the characters and their friendship.

If you like to follow a group of characters, I recommend you to try this series (duology?)!
