_evs_ 's review for:

Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
3.75
adventurous dark mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I have to admit, I struggled with the first half. I was considering DNFing it. I picked it up again, a week or two later & the last half was so good. Not sure if I wasn't in the right mood or if maybe the beginning sucked. But the second half really is amazing & worth the wait. Would have been high 4 stars.
