I struggled to get into this book and took me much longer to read than usual. This is mostly due to taking breaks from it. The plot was interesting but I did not love the characters or writing style. This absolutely could be due to the translation to English though, so I do not want to be too harsh. I mostly did not like how women were described or discussed in the book.
