Not my typical read. Chose it for a history class requirement. Took quite a bit of time before the book took my unbridled interest. It was well written but rather monotonous for a while.

When I started this book, I thought I would never get through it. It is super slow/confusing to start, but once the story starts to finally unfold, gets interesting. I'm glad I made myself finish it, but it's definitely not a favorite.
