I'm sad I didn't like this as much as I hoped. I didn't connect with most of the characters, including Fortuna until near the end. And given that not much happens plot-wise in the first half of the book, that didn't make for an enjoyable read. 

She makes a lot of impulsive decisions, including a big one that makes for the plot in the 2nf half of the book. A lot of it is emotion driven. And while understandable and realistic, it wasn't entertaining. It was also endlessly frustrating how she's so hyper focused on one thing that she didn't notice these glaring issues. 

There was only one surprise in this ending for me. But its the ending that has me interested in reading more.

Sometimes it felt like there were mistakes in the writing...just details missing or the passage of time was confusing in certain parts. I don’t know if maybe i missed something but it was slightly confusing sometimes.
