4.0

I almost put this book down so many times while getting through the first 1/3 because the characters felt like caricatures and the plot felt basic… but then I re-read the description and had hope that my reactions were intended, even planned. I’m glad I finished it because I’ve thought about how the story evolved and ended several times since completing it. A good experience overall, but any summary of this book must come with the warning that it took awhile to get into, and felt very basic and unsubtle, without a lot of subtle nuance or depth to the characters.
