Great book, but I find the main character unlikeable and kind of creepy. Almost all the the characters are unlikeable besides Tony in my opinion. The book is very slow paced but packed with a lot of detail. With that being said, I prefer my books to be not as slow paced as this one. And all the detail in the writing was impressive, but sometimes I felt like it was too much fluff. I’d like to rant more but unfortunately that would include spoilers. Don’t get me wrong though, I’d still recommend this book.
