I really struggled to get through this one. I did not care for the style in which the novel is written. It's not a particularly difficult novel, but written the way it is intensifies the amount of attention needed to get through it.

At the end, my take away from this was that we are all warring within ourselves. Within and with the world we find ourselves in. Each of the characters is dealing with internal struggles and external. The book wasn't particularly impactful in my opinion. On to the next one.
