1.5

the characters are boring and there is far too much focus on the nitty gritty of their moment to moment emotions as a response to the plot events. the characters are pretty one dimensional as well. extremely slow burn but in a bad way. the ending its very predictable and not satisfying at all–especially considering its entirely laid out for the reader over the course of the final third of the novel.
