I (think) I mostly enjoyed this book, though there were moments where I considered giving up on the novel completely (especially in the beginning), but after the first 50 or so pages, I found the story more compelling. The characters were okay, not super compelling in my opinion, but the story was solid, and I enjoyed the twists and turns along the way.
