This was a painful read. Slow, repetitive, too much description and not enough dialogue, utterly ridiculous and boring. And what was the deal with so many words or sentences in closed brackets?!?!! It didn’t even need to be 500 pages long either. The repetitiveness could’ve - no, SHOULD have been - cut down by half. I had such high hopes for this being an incredible read but it severely let me down. Such a shame.
