This would’ve been 4 stars but the ending was a little flat. Other than the ending, this was all consuming! Fast paced and thrilling. The violence is a bit jarring but the storyline is very good.

Incredibly slow for the entire first half. Almost abandoned it due to pace and overall annoyance and pity for main character. I finished it but this book was not for me.
