3.5

This is a good book, I recognize that. However, it was a really hard one to get into. It took me to about 250 pages to feel compelled by the story. I feel that there are other books that I was able to get into more even though I gave them lower star ratings. I wouldn’t read this book again, but it is well-written for sure.
