3.5

I'm very happy I stuck with this book, but it was hard to keep reading. About halfway through, the mystery become intriguing enough to keep going, but I don't know if I would have made it that far if I didn't promise people I'd read this book.

I would not consider this book adventurous or fast-paced in any way. It's main focus is character driven, with a tiny side of plot. However intriguing said plot is, it does not make it fast-paced. 

That being said, the ending of this book was definitely worth the slow build up. It seized my heart and spoke to me on an emotional level that other mysteries have not. I will absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for a story about the intricacies of love and life and a god that makes deals with mortals. 

This book will forever stay with me.
