This book was okay but it was bit dull and I didn't love it, The atmosphere was okay and world building was fine but needed to be flash out more. The writing was okay and the paced of plot was bit slow also the cover of the book was stunning. I found the characters to be okay but I feel at they needed to flash out and the ending of the book was fine.

I'm not sure if it was the right time or if the book truly was just too slow to keep my interest

Þetta er ekki lengsta bók sem ég hef lesið, en þetta er samt lengsta bók sem ég hef lesið.
Ég hélt að hún myndi vera allt öðruvísi, þannig fyrstu ca. 100 blaðsíðurnar voru smá brekka, að sætta mig við að bókin sem ég var að lesa var ekki sama bók og ég bjóst við að ég væri að fara að lesa. 

Aðrar bækur eftir Donnu Tartt eru betri en þessi - í gegnum bæði The Secret History og The Goldfinch hugsaði ég nokkrum sinnum "vá hvað ég er heppin að vera til í sama heimi og þessi bók", en þessi hittaði ekki alveg eins.
Senur sem voru góðar voru svo fookkiiiing góðar, gat ekki slitið mig frá og fann fyrir mjög sterkum tilfinningum. En senur sem voru leiðinlegar voru svoooo leiðinlegar, ég nenni ekki að sitja í gegnum margar blaðsíður af lýsingum á einhverju túni.

Persónurnar stóðu upp úr, mjög tragískar en samt ótrúlega raunverulegar. 

Ég gat fundið fyrir því hvað þessi bók er tæknilega góð, en hún var samt smá vonbrigði.
