In many ways, the novel is a slow burn since we know from the opening pages what the climax is but there's a quickness to how the story unfolds. I enjoyed the long exploration of the characters' fall from grace and
Unsurprisingly, our narrator, Richard, was the least interesting. He exists solely to grant us access to this world and its characters. In fact, I feel like the ending, which petered out, reflects this. If the novel had ended a handful of pages earlier, its conclusion would have felt more powerful. Instead, our narrator (author) feels the need to go further and wrap up the arcs for characters we didn't care about.
