It was extremely slow and unnecessary for about 60% of the book, but the remaining 40% was good. The plot was surprisingly complex.

A wonderful, if slow at times, read. Great to see awful people get what's coming to them alongside a neat little reflection on what kinds of revenge people do and don't deserve.
