I really wanted to like the book. It has a veeeery slow start which is why it took me so long to finish it, there's a lot of built up until you actually see any plot start to take shape. The author does create a nice descriptive environment and makes you understand each character's emotions and drives. I'd say it has a satisfactory ending and once the plot actually began it was a nice read.
