There are 3 main POVS with an additional 2 mini-POVs towards the end - each has their own unique voice. I enjoyed the world and character building in the beginning but think the ending felt rushed and disjointed.
This is a cliffhanger book with 2 more planned AND a TV series on FX

It really felt the author was trying to do too much. Especially with trying to change the writing styles to poems when Sunny is being beaten up.
I did not get the ending at all, I was hoping it would redeem reading this long book, but it fell very flat.
I think maybe this book was more written like it was ready to be a screenplay for a movie because some parts felt so choppy.
I feel like the book could have been good and had such good reviews but I’m very disappointed because it was so long and I just don’t get what the purpose of the book was at the end.
