Heard this was a really awesome book and life changing for people…I personally thought the book was just okay. Characters were interesting but the plot dragged and the book was sssooo long. Nothing really blew me away, the writing/prose was really pretty but about 1/4 of the book didn’t feel necessary. Hope to read more by this author but this as my first book by him, pretty mid.
