For a long time this was a bit of a tough read for me - I didn’t connect with any of the characters and they were mostly somewhat… unlikable? Interesting but not really someone you wanna root for. What often draws me in are the relations between characters and for most of the book the deeper relationships were hard to find, but still it was a very interesting story and interesting characters and towards the end when everyone sorta were drawn together it all finally connected for me, and now I think I have to finish the series
