A Mask of Flies by Matthew Lyons
Did not finish book. Stopped at 52%.
I don't have any major complaints; the writing is great, the characters are well-developed, even the ones not on page much, and there are a ton of interesting elements. That may be where I started to fall off the caring wagon. By 50% so much has happened and none of it seems to be connected more than just being a plot stepping stone. The Jeesup arc was underwhelming, the cop’s attitude change felt convenient, and Gem just gets thrown in. Also, why are we negotiating with the enemy when they have no clue where you are?
Maybe that's my issue: everything just felt super convenient to move the story forward 🤷🏻♀️
