3.5
So, here’s the thing- the last 50 pages- my goodness, brilliant. The twist, didn’t see it coming and I loved it. There were two in fact and I loved both. The last 50 pages made me wanna give it 4 stars. However, this is a slow burn, there are moments you wanna say “why the heck is the person narrating??” It is incredibly well thought out and researched. I did like it but it wasn’t as Medusa based as I thought it would be. Overall, with the ending, lovely arc. Without that ending…. Snooze. Not what I wanted. Hence the 3.5 rating.
