3.5

While I found this story very engaging, I found the extremely fast pace of the climax and conclusion to be abrupt and unsatisfying. 3/4ths of this book are a slow, simmering build that has your gut clenched in uneasy anticipation and then the last 4th feels so rushed. It feels like a disservice to the story that had built up to it.
