I worked out the twist early, but I usually do. Still when everything was revealed it was concluded well enough to leave me satisfied. 

I found most of the characters deeply unpleasant, though of course thats intentional. But it made the ending resulution feel kind of strange. Maybe thats intentional too.

And the prose is very good. Which makes up for a lot.

I went into this book not knowing what to expect due to all of the polarizing reviews. But I ended up enjoying it for the most part. I want to say that the twist is the part that probably made it better for me. If it wasn't for that I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much. It was hard to sympathize at all with a lot of the characters as well. (White superiority, racism, petty rich people problems) to give you an idea.
I just wish there was more development in all aspects but it still had me quite intrigued. I hope the prequel gives me more insight into why the bulk of characters acted the way they did.
