I thought it was really really good and enjoyed reading it immensely. However…
a few things in the last parts could have been expanded on further and there’s a cast of over 15 people and not one of them was even a bit fruity? Also I didn’t feel like Moody’s story was tied up as well as it could’ve been.
Still was a great book, challenging but enjoyable.
