So, this is a classic case of "excellent writing technique won't breathe life into a story". Or maybe I'm just not the target audience for this particular narrative. I really wanted to love this book with everything in me. The writing style kept me going but at the end of the book, I realised that I don't care about any of the characters. I felt like, "is that it"? Maybe, it's just me. I expected too much because of the premise.
