i hit fatigues at many parts (not the book's fault, it's exactly what it wants to be; i'm just not in the mood for it most of the time that's why it took me 5 months to finish) but the last third is IT. i'm not attached to any characters, which i'm pretty sure is intentional anyway, so that ending felt fitting. it's a bleak story with a bleak, edgy, irredeemable cast and i'm fine with it - the "villain" could use some more depth to his character however, i was initially intrigued but then he turned boring real quick and i'm disappointed
