I can see why this is a lot of people’s favourite, the two main characters where a big reason why I was so intrigued to continue when I first started and then it just kept in going.
The thing is, they never said anything, the whole book was them hardly communicating with each other, with us, and it dragged. I didn’t really see why 2 parts where needed, not really, and i felt like I was slugging thought it (honestly I swore at one point I was reading backwards). The end wrapped up the way I thought it would by the first explosion but nothing happen. It was like “we can’t figure it out” for 350 pages and the rest everything just clicked and ended. And yes, that’s kinda how mysteries tend to go, but it felt like this one was doing that to the extreme.
It hooked me, that’s for sure, it bored me, definitely, but I don’t regret the read and can see why people love the series, I just won’t be one of them.
Oh, it also had every paragraph head hopping, which wasn’t always don’t in the best ways, even after getting use to the the writing style, I still had moments that I have to blink and figure out who was talking right then.
