Wasn't the right time for this book. Will have to try again later.

I enjoyed this book a lot more than I expected to based on what I had read and heard about it previously. While it is a bit overlong, I thought this was really pretty good. It took me even longer to get through this book than it ought to have because we got a 3-month old puppy six days ago, lol.
The main negatives of this book are the large character cast with several characters not making a huge impression and the ending didn't go with a bang. But I liked the premise and the story and I'm looking forward to Owen King's new book next spring.

Ending too ambiguous considering the lack of clarity regarding the married primary characters.

Maybe 3-3 1/2 Stars? I don’t know yet. I need more time to process what the hell I just read.

I gave this book 2 stars because around page 500 I read simply to be finished, not because I was so into it. I usually love King’s detail, but the book felt like it could’ve been edited down - a couple hundred pages down.
