4.5

This book stuck with me to the point where I had to reread it. That doesn't happen to me often.
I think this book is so worth it because of its complex and very real characters, which are set in this bleak and dangerous world but do their best to stick to their own values and priorities. 

The real magic of this book is that, despite the many wrongdoings by each person, none of them are truly the villain in this story.  They are just each doing their best with what they have.
