4.0

I find the world building and characters of this book really intriguing, even if I found the plot a little confusing. I thought the ending was beautiful and bittersweet.

My main issue is this is very much from Stephen King’s era of writing where he has to put excessive detail into how he describes every female character’s boobs.
