3.5

On the good side of "meh", I think this mostly came down to personal preference, I struggled to enjoy the writing style and books that "pay off" later. I highlighted one or two lovely sections, but overall felt a bit disengaged from the story and it's characters. 

I absolutely LOVED the first chapter however, and would love a book entirely like that!
