Slow to warm up and quite an abrupt ending. Maybe It’s just been a while since I’ve read this genre, but this book didn’t click with me until about two thirds of the way through. The whole thing is wrapped up by a quick series of twists that feels a little sudden but not out of place. When it lands though, it’s great.
