4.0
Probably a 3.5. I read this as a Netgalley ARC and then part way through we got the book in physical form in the library so I dipped into that too.
Positives: lovely poetic writing, atmospheric opening and final sections, exciting not-quite-final scenes adventure.
Negatives: I struggle with non-adherence to traditional grammatical rules and style, my brain isn’t attuned to the lack of capital letters and text speak single character words. Consequently I really felt I had to concentrate on reading rather than getting lost in the story.
Also, for me, the middle section was far too drawn out. I’m pleased I read this, and I have lots to say about it, but ultimately it’s not a highlight read, and I feel it could have been.
