Wow. Everyone in this book is absolutely infuriating, and poorly written to boot. If I wasn’t jet lagged and awake in the middle of the night with nothing else mindless to do, I wouldn’t have gotten past the first three pages. Can’t believe I finished it.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.

Too many flowery descriptions of corpses
