4.0

This book will keep you in the dark for 80% of the book and I really did not like that. I switched to alternating between the physical edition and the audiobook quite early on (the narrator is AMAZING) and it increased my enjoyment considerably as it was through the narration I could keep all the characters apart and helped them come to life. 

The ending was fantastic, but I wished the lead-up was stronger. I considered a 3,75 rating, but the ending was so good I feel biased towards it right now... Might change later
