3.0

This book has a strong start. They give you just enough world building to get you started with this adventure. The first portion of the book is atmospheric and tense. Towards the middle, it starts to drag. There’s also not enough time spent on character development. There are only two characters in this lengthy book. I should know deeply by the end. There’s also an unnecessary romance. It reads more like Stockholm syndrome than a genuine feeling..
