Complicated
Let me start out with saying I definitely would have DNFed this had I not had an arc for it. This book was not good. This book was so over complicated for the story it was trying to tell.
First, there are random perspective changed throughout the entire book. These add nothing to the story, especially because there is not rhyme or reason to when they occur.
Next, the whole middle of the book felt like the same pattern. Over and over and over and over again. It made the book feel so long and like literally nothing was happening ever.
Finally, the end sucked. There was little resolution to any of the big things. It kinda explained things but not really. Just kind of a cop out of an ending in my opinion.
Overall, I was not a fan and would not recommend. This was the longest 350 pages I have ever read.
Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks for the advanced copy!
