This is a hard book to rate. I didn’t enjoy it at all but I also didn’t hate it. It was just kind of…there. I didn’t connect to any of the characters and many of them felt so bland and one-dimensional that I couldn’t tell you anything about them. The same goes for the story in general. Again, it was just…there. The pace picks up in the last 25% or so of the book but it doesn’t really make up for the other 75% which is a complete slog - albeit a fairly well written one.
