This was quite an intense novel, I found it a bit slow and confusing at times but it ultimately built up to a satisfying ending.

The characters are complex, their actions are infuriating at times but believable. I struggled with some of the dialogue: the characters switch topics suddenly and talk of quite abstract, but meaningful things. I'm sure there is a lot of sub-text that flew right over my head in these bits!

I honestly didn't know where the story was going, which can be good or bad, but out of several possible endings I thought were hinted at, the one we eventually got was good. There was character development and some negative tropes were avoided.
