What an absolute pleasure to read! The characters truly felt like real people and even though my feelings towards the brothers are complicated, I throughly enjoyed getting to know them.
The second half of the book was incredibly compelling and tense, and always made me want to keep reading!
With yhat being said, this is a 1200 page book... Which I can see how that can put off many people. However, do make it your commuting or bedtime book for a couple months (maybe a bit more than that) and you will find yourself thinking about the characters and the story as you go about your daily life.
