relin's review against another edition

I really enjoyed the characters but struggled with the pacing and writing style around this point where I noticed I was setting it down frequently. Picking it back up again got harder each time, but I had to read the ending to see what happened. I did skip ahead so I could have that conclusion even though I was missing some key parts.

This book is similar to the European Renaissance-esque YA novels of my adolescence, with a resourceful and clever protagonist and lovable dolt of a love interest. Except there's hard drugs and casual sex so this is definitely a grown up book. Very much recommend to others.
