It wasn't sufficiently  compelling to me at the moment.

It's really not necessary to mention the breasts of every woman and girl who enters the scene

Second time reading this book, and I was really surprised by just how dark and graphic it was! I didn't remember it being this graphic the first time I read it, but this time I was actually skimming some parts because it was way too much for me.

Other than that, it's written really well! The plot twists are exciting, and I'm very keen to read the next two in the series again since I can't remember anything!!

Best feeling ever when you get to read a book you love "for the first time" again, because your memory has failed you 😂

Decent book. Most of the time it was 4 stars but it faltered in the final third part. Also I found some scenes incoherent. Overall good plot and characters but not polished enough to be truly enjoyable.
