Last 25% was good.
I think this is my sign to never touch a "beautifully" written book ever again. It took me more than 3 months to complete this. Not because I am a slow reader.
While I liked the dialogues, i wish there were more. Books with more dialogues than descriptive paragraphs are comparatively interesting to read than the opposite.
I guess this book suits readers with a more "refined" reading taste. Not my cup of tea.
I also think the friendship between Locke and Jean while being good, was overrated by other readers who liked this book. The last few chapters were the reason for me to like their friendship atleast a little bit.
The parallels between a few scenes in the past and present were well done.
The humor, while not as abundant as i thought, was good too.
Overall, this book is for readers who love descriptive passages and slow pacing.
Thanking god and the author for giving a complete arc in the first book. Because, I am stopping here.
