I'm struggling with what to say and how to rate this book. After the first 50 pages, I wanted to DNF it but kept going since I was in a readalong. By page 350, I knew KNEW this was going to be a 2.5 star read. After all, there was only another 50 pages to go, and if I haven't loved the book before then, I wouldn't
But the last 50 pages were amazing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was a convoluted, pretentious story that needed less characters or to be a series because this was confusing and I didn't care for how this played out for anyone until the last 50 pages. I skimmed the boring bits (and there were a lot of those), and yes, maybe thats wrong, but the characters didn't interest me enough to try that hard to understand their motivations or pasts.
However, the last 50 pages were delightful, thought provoking, and incredibly satisfying. So I guess I'll tack on another ⭐ for it!
