This book!!!! The concept of it is great, but James's writing is just sooo dense. I found it reaaally hard to get through this, this only reason why I finished it is because I had a presentation on it. Would not reccommend to anyone who struggles with slow books.
It was originally published as a series and it shows, nothing much happens in it and it progresses really, really slowly. It takes a lot of patience to finish this. The voices of the characters sort of blend together, so that you don't really know who's talking, and for this reason I would reccommend the audiobook if you're going to venture into this one!
