WOW this book was incredible. I can't wait to read the sequels. The narrator on this was spectacular. The characters in this were so real, flawed and interesting. Every character in the story, major and minor, had agency to impact the trajectory of the story. The twists and the turns right up to the very end were shocking but believable. I wasn't sure if I was going to like a book like this, a Godfather-esque gang war story, but I was hooked in from the beginning and only got more engrossed as the story progressed. A+, no notes.
