This book, y'all. This book. It's mysterious. It's angry. It' complex. I loved it. I was loving it. And then the last 10 pages! wtf? I still do love it. But also I feel like it punched me directly in the face.

This is a very dark and well written noir-type story. The characters were all very interesting, and I love a good rotation of narrators. The writing is a little hard to jump into as someone who reads books a little faster paced than this, but that is more of a mark on my taste than the quality of this story. Gorgeously written and incredibly thought provoking, if you can handle the dark underbelly of this world I definitely recommend!
