My rating was affected by the fact that a pet dies, that the ending is really more told to us as if to wrap it up quickly than for us to read as well as the fact that I really wanted a happy ending or at least an ending where the bad goes away/is punished for what they did and I did not feel this was the case.

I found the first fifty or so pages of this book hard going, but once I got into it and stopped looking so hard for the plot, and Fitz grew older, I really enjoyed it. By the halfway point I was invested in the characters which made the "main" conflict all the more satisfying. But really the story is about Fitz's loneliness and desperation to find acceptance and an end to the loneliness that overshadows his whole life, as well as the varied characters he encounters along his journey. I'll definitely try and get hold of the sequels.
