first of all, narrator talks so slow I had it on 1.9x speed & didnt miss anything.
next up: main character is DUMB. he is annoyingly repetitive & extremely predictable. I might not have known what obstacles would be in his path but as soon as they were explained I knew what he would do about it.
He still rambles like no ones business & I literally said "we KNOW" so many times even my husband rolled his eyes
surprise (just kidding) it ends mid-thought again so cliffhanger.

I did like the new character Mary until about ¾ of the way through. then she seemed to be the "typical" female character (you know, the aloof, hot, unknowable, angry type thing. also she randomly starts to apparently hate him???? and then he ignores her. both MC & author.)
also, spoiler alert: literally killed hundreds of kids in this book. I'm done with the series.
