3.0

This book is an extremely slow build to an intense last 10% of the book. The cast of characters feels very underdeveloped so that by the end the emotional impact isn’t as high as it could be. The writing is vivid and beautiful, but most of the characters fall flat leaving you feeling unfulfilled.
