It took me a while to get into this book. I felt like the beginning was super overwritten and excessive. I also felt as though the author expected us to be invested in certain characters early without putting in the work to create that investment. This being said, as I continued reading and got to know the characters more, it became easier to buy in. 

Being structured around the trials meant that the novel kept a good pace and tension remained. Overall, a good read and I am excited to pick up the next one.
