missanthropyknits's review against another edition

I really dislike all of the characters and there wasn't anything or anyone to cheer for. The last straw for me was Jack being thrown off the build.

This is not a light read. I found the overall arc of the story to be compelling but felt that the author sometimes used gore or sex to try to keep things interesting at calmer plot points. A bit too graphic for me, but those not bothered by that would likely really enjoy it.

Ellen and Aliena saved this book. 

The law catching up with REDACTED was the most unrealistic part in the whole thing, and a fair letdown after everything that had come before. 

Superbly narrated by John Lee.

Glad to finally have this off my TBR and a bit more space on my shelf.
