A slow and confusing start with Henry’s POVs after having a five month gap between the first novel and this. It did end up kicking into gear, and once it did it became mental. I also have mixed feelings about the ending.
Granted I wasn’t a huge fan of Fake Fin. Or backstory with Michael.
Overall this story seemed a bit unnecessary.
