I found this at the thrift store and thought it sounded interesting — I couldn’t have been more wrong. It dragged on forever, nothing really happened, and by the time I got to the end I felt like nothing was really resolved. Not to mention the writing felt too formal, including the dialogue, and it was the type of book that spoon-fed you all the information in huge dumps. Ugh, I hated it.

Honestly wanted to DNF it after the two hour mark in the audiobook but I ended up listening to it anyway.

The book dragged out quite a lot especially near the end.  I just honestly didn’t care for most of the characters and combined with the slow paced plot I just didn’t care for this book all that much.
