I WANTED TO LIKE THIS MORE THAN I DID. I STRUGGLED WITH THE SET UP TO THE STORY, THE CONSTANT BACK AND FORTH, AND NO BACK STORY TO HOW WE GOT THERE. THAT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO YNDERSTAND MOTIVATIONS AND PURPOSE. I LOVED THE PREMISE AND SETTING OF PRISON BEING A LIFE AND DEATH SENTENCE, I JUST REALLY STRUGGLED TO BE EXCITED ABOUT AN ACTIONLESS ACTION BOOK.
