This was a February book club pick and definitely not my jam. I made it to 82% before I had to pause. I might go back and finish it, but I need to be in the right headspace for immortal man tantrums and excessive shadow whining.
There's some solid spice and a dark fantasy setup, but the angst level was a bit much for me at the time. I got tired of him obsessing over his mother-effing shadow like it was a personality trait. It’s not a DNF, but it’s currently in time-out.
