This book really fell flat for me. Everything just kind of...dragged on by. And it's a short novella, so....
It felt like all the interesting stuff was happening between people conversing in a private room, and I wasn't privy to their conversation - I could only be reported to by someone with an ear to the door. I found the characters flat and uninteresting. And honestly, the love story sub-plot irritated me with how forced it felt. Based on the summary and the praise I've seen for it, I was expecting a lot more.
