3.5

I would give this book probably 3.5. I had really high hopes but it was just so hard to follow with too many characters and too many details. It felt rushed and meandering at the same time. I loved what we did get to see of the characters and think the writing was beautiful but I felt frustrated and confused. I slogged through it and was disappointed with what felt like an ending with so many threads left hanging.
