5.0

I can't begin to explain how glad I am I read this book. It's my first 5-star for this year and it well deserves every word of praise it receives. The prose is so masterful and every word is so intentional it's hard to believe it was translated from its original text into English. The excellent pacing, insane storytelling ability, and flawed but loveable characters are just the beginning of what makes this book so special. I will be giving this book as a gift to everyone I love this year.
