the last act of this book was so disappointing...the big build up and climax ended up feeling empty and unfinished which sucked because I did genuinely enjoy the first half, it just ended up feeling unresolved because the bigger picture was too big, which i understand is the point but if i wanted that feeling I could just read any real world news source lmao
