4.0

I really enjoyed this book. It was dark, gritty but also lyrical. It had me on the edge of my seat. The way it was written was great and different but also challenging and confusing which is why there it's a 4 and not a 5. But the story is engaging, the characters interesting. There was a lot of twists and turns I did not see coming. Unpredictable.
