Solid book. I almost ended up DNFing due to my lack of meshing with the characters at the beginning, but as I kept reading they really grew on me. I didn’t much care for the character to begin with but after they had some development they really got much better, especially Addy.
It was also very well crafted and the resolution was both surprising yet grounded worked really well, I’m glad I stuck with this one.
