I struggled a lot to get into this, and through the first chapters I was close to giving up as I never seemed to get the hang of the story and the writing style. I am glad I pressed on and continued, because once I really got into this story I got so involved and though a lot about it even when not reading it.
It's very different from my typical reads, but I loved it. It was brilliantly written and now that I'm done I wish it was longer, I want more, I want to know how all the characters are doing etc.
