While I enjoyed the middle third of the book, and I like the author's way of writing, I found it a tedious read and was happy to be done with it. The constant and increasingly monotonous onslaught of gore, mindless violence, and horror eventually numbed and bored me. I would've liked to see the characters explore actual motivations, and the "plot" twists feel more and more undeserved due to witheld information.
