Nothing wrong with it just not the kind of writing I personally enjoy. If you liked Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan and historical fiction I thnk you would like it. 

I really liked the first half of this, where the two main characters are in a city under seige. It was a simple and beautifully told story. In the second half it changes quite drastically to incorporate more magical realism elements into the story in a style reminiscent if The Underground Railroad. I felt that the heart of the book had been lost in this transition, and that the book had become more removed and lost its intimacy. Lost interest unfortunately! 

Started dragging for me by the end and I just completely lost interest in finishing it 

Didn't really like the way this was written; a mix of narrative non-fiction and academic writing styles that I thought really didn't work.

Overall this was just a bit boring for me, I couldn't get invested in it. 

Found this really slow and unengaging, started it weeks ago and haven't felt any urge to pick it back up. 

The murder scenes in this were too much for me, so I stopped reading around 25% of the way through. 

Woman is raped and impregnated by a man. Man feels guilty about it, forces her to stay with him because that would apparently be best for her. Zero effort is made to try and help the woman get back to where she was taken from. Woman is given no narrative voice whatsoever (including later on, I skipped through the book to find out if we ever hear from her perspective). No thank you.
