This one may require a reread to fully enjoy it. Perhaps I took too long of a pause in between fits of reading it. At times the language and diction went right over my head, but most of the time I found the craft of this book riveting. Overall I loved the story. It was compelling, messy, and fascinating.

I really wanted to like this book, but it just never really went anywhere, the pace was jumpy, and then all the "action" was shoved into the last two chapters :(
