4.0
Burned through this [compelling / devastating] tale in a single day - which bodes well for my 2023 read count, doesn’t it?
Actual rating lands closer to 4.5-stars. Docked a wee bit for the love story that (IMO) was unnecessary and detracted from what was otherwise a tight and powerful story. (See also: Those final pages? I mean, sure - I guess that’s one way to end a book?)
But those are minor quibbles. Overall, a really solid read that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
