4.5

This book was really good. It was a good anti-hero story, and I was reminded a lot of Macbeth. I enjoyed all the characters, and I enjoyed that many were unreliable narrators as well. They always keep things interesting. It felt like you enter this story only knowing about half the info, and then you're seeking info out right along with the characters. I also like that nobody is really all that innocent in this book. All in all, I would recommend it to anyone who likes anti-heroes, unreliable narrators, or very dark stories with plenty of death.
