I usually love plotless, character-driven books but they only work if you’re writing about interesting characters. Despite being 500+ pages, all of the characters were very two dimensional without any real growth or change. It might’ve been two stars if the ending hadn’t been so anticlimactic and rushed (which is ironic given how the rest of this book completely dragged.) Very disappointed with this.
