This is clearly well-written, the world-building is amazing, and though a fictional account, you really feel immersed as a reader into the social and political conflicts of the troubles (the immersion helped along for me having listened to the audio version).
Trespasses is quiet, mundane, grey. This is a stylistic choice and while it has obviously worked for a lot of people, I found it a little dull as the story went on. As one reviewer on Goodreads put it "I think I admired what seems like social and historical authenticity more than enjoying this as a reading experience".
