Don't know what I just read.
I feel like most of the characters were these stereotype/charicature mesh, with absolutely absurd details about some of the side characters. In the end, all of the twists and turns at the end weren't enough to convince me, as I felt it was just taking too long.

This book made me viscerally angry. I don't know if I've ever been so mad and frustrated with a book.
