So I've taken a couple days to sit with and reflect on my review before posting it, and honestly I think that was such a good idea because at this point I have also read Exodus and hindsight is 20/20.
Throughout the entirety of this series, I was constantly putting the the book aside and breaking the fourth wall to the camera that was not there, mumbling "What the fuck am I reading?" under my breath. Despite the chaotic highs and lows, I persevered and finished the book even though at times there were issues that I would normally not overlook (grammar, literal complete and utter chaos of a plot, emotional whiplash, character inner dialogue that made me cringe).
Now, before you go and write this book off, know that I am so fucking glad I pressed on. The roller-coaster ride that was this book was so worth it for the moments of clarity; the moments so raw, I felt like the author had scratched an itch on an emotion, sensation, memory, that I hadn't been able to vocalize or had long forgotten.
I don't think this book is a masterpiece, but I also don't flatter myself in thinking it's trying to be one. In a situation, a plot that is so out-of-this-world-wild and corrupt, it's painfully human. Prepare yourself for a spicy book full of love, lust, and secrets; oh, so many secrets.
