This book disappointed me. The concept was interesting, although I do often struggle with unlikeable main characters so perhaps it was not quite my taste.

However my main issue with the book was really the language. I didn't find it to flow, and especially the first 100 pages were very repetitive. Despite being told in first person, the character has an ability that means we often get to read about other people's memories and thoughts. I didn't find the way that worked fully logical and at times the plot was not moving forward, instead the book was built on endless accounts of people's lives, motivations, guilt and passions. 

The next book seems to be told from the perspective of a different character so I might give it a go despite struggling with this one.
