4.0

The first 300 pages of this book confused the living life out of me, with the constant short stories and myths I was very confused. During these first 300 pages no huge plot was established and the first 300 pages weren't very captivating. But once I passed page 300 the book become one of my all time favorites, the symbolism each character represents is amazing. I feel like nothing was really connecting in the first 300 pages but everything started to make sense after little snippets of information were revealed. The last 200 pages really saved this book from being a one star review to a four star, the plot twists and truths revealed is impeccable, everybody isn't who you think they are. The ending was very good and very satisfying. My one problem with this book, as stated before, was the first 300 pages were really boring and not very attention grabbing but the ending and everything unravelling makes it better, definitely worth the read.
