I liked the beginning section of this book and the ending quite a bit. Most of the middle felt aimless and boring, with the hope that it would all connect by the end, which, to an extent, it did. However, it took so long to do so that I had forgotten who half of the characters were and why I cared for most of the book. I did remember by the end, but yeah, this could've been way shorter and achieved the same thing, and I think would've been a better book for it.
