TL;DR: extremely slow; horny, but not in the fun way; dark and descriptive, inching towards profundity without ever getting there. 

I was so excited to read this book and was so disappointed. It is extremely slow. The audiobook is only 5 hours and I listened on 1.25 speed but it still took me over a month to finish. I kept reading thinking the pace might pick up and because I was interested in the characters, but the prose was flowery without real substance.
