I haven't fully gathered my thoughts about this book but...
I felt like the first half at least was quite slow. I was surprised to see people tend to mark this book as fast-paced. The setting descriptions were so detailed and really painted a vivid picture in my mind, which I enjoyed. Oh my goodness, did the twist towards the end ever give me a visceral reaction of disgust and shock!
