This is a hefty book! It’s 872 pages and is long. There is a lot of information in it and there was a lot of tedious things in it that made me bored and made me want to DNF the book quite a bit. I’m so happy to be finished with it. I do love Kira and her growth. The Wallfish characters were my favorite and I loved how they interacted.
