I had read and enjoyed The Queen's Gambit so was really looking forward to delving into another one of the same author's works, however, maybe due to the subject matter, I did not connect to these characters as quickly.  The book seemed slow at times and virtually stopped at others, I found myself skipping pages of descriptions of events that held no interest to me or furthered the story.  The novel was well written with characters that were colourful and had depth - I just found myself wanting to finish and be done rather than savouring the storytelling.
