John Marrs is so good at writing characters that are so wicked and manipulative that I feel bad for them and have to remind myself they’re awful

It was incredibly hard to decide what to rate this book so I just gave it 3 stars. The entire first part of the book was so slow and boring. I kept reading because there HAD to be a reason it has such good ratings on here and Amazon. lol. Part Two was really good and Part Three was just ok to me. I liked aspects of it. It was a different concept than what I normally read so I definitely liked that about it. I don't know. Just...meh.

It’s a good crime story. But I’m really more excited to get back into fantasy and poetry so I lost interest after awhile. 

I’d return to this to finish later, though. It’s not AS gripping as other thriller mysteries so keep that in mind. Still interesting.
