so insanely slow paced, but well worth it. but i found it tended to lull in some areas and then rush through introducing new things that i would have liked to have been explored more. 

it’s an incredibly well written book, and kept me constantly engaged, interested and eagerly waiting to see how it was going to end, yet not wanting it to.
