I can’t rate this book— it took me almost 7 months to finish it and I read multiple books while I was taking a break. It is such a slow paced book and the descriptions can go on and on for pages.
There were parts where I was sucked in and there were parts where I was so bored. More than anything I found myself dying to get to the end just to finish it.
I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone because of the content and the slow paced, but many people do love it. Over all, it wasn’t the book for me and it was more tedious to finish than enjoyable.
