3.25

The first half of the book I was painfully bored and I actually started this book once and decided I had to give it a try once more. 

So once I powered through part 1, part 2 was a lot more interesting! I don’t think I would have given this book a 3 without it. 

I think that this author is talented but it was also hard to know because it’s translated so some certain aspects may have not hit the same in English. 
Also, he’s talented to weave together everything that happened in part 1 that lead to the trial in part 2.
