Overall a good story to entertain the read, but…..

Slow, slow start…. I started and had to put it down for three months. Then read for a week and down again for two months. I’m not sure why I didn’t DNF this book but in the end I did enjoy it once it picked up. In two weeks time I went from having read 8% of the book to almost 85% of the book read. 

The chapters were looonnnng… so long that at times it seemed like there would never be a break.
