3.0

I struggle with what to rate this. I am going to continue to book 2, but I struggled with the constant interal monologue from Madeline. It was annoying, because she is incompetent (understandably) but spends time weighing choices for which there is only one right answer or no choice to make.

The stakes are pretty low and the ending is a whiplash where Madeline's character is inconsistent.

she wants to kill Ramuell. Now she doesn't for a moral high ground moment. But, don't worry. Less than a page later, she kills him. No internal discussion or reflection about it.

It's. Weird.
