I really wanted to like this, and I probably would have if 50-75 had been further edited out. It dragged so badly. It would have been an entertaining read, but the slow drag of conversations and the bits between the action was so drawn out that I was so super bored. I liked the main characters, but I didn't care about what was happening half of the time. The plot was not dramatic or intense enough to allow for the slow pace.
