The premise and setting was very promising. Execution though, not so great. Some language and phrasing choices made this read like a YA novel, which isn’t bad per se, but just seemed displaced being that the character is much older than his teens. While the middle of the book was entertaining, I don’t think the delve into the past was necessarily needed.
