This was quite an interesting read, but I felt the writer's pacing was a bit off. The 30%-50% marked dragged on soooo much that I considered DNFing, but then once I pushed through I began to love it!!! until the end. I feel like the ending didn't need so many chapters and just 2 or 3 could have sufficed. I definitely loved all the literary references though and I would have given this book an easy 4 stars if it wasn't for the pacing
