Did not finish book.
I might come back to it later; it got a bit boring, and some of the characters were a little unlikeable. Have to be in a specific mood to finish. Though I like the setting and the description of the setting, hence why I still want to read.

Did not finish book.
Might come back to it later, but a lot of the writing is complex and takes quite a bit of time to read

The text was easy to understand and didn't contain much complex wording. Also like how it used examples that I could easily relate to.
