3.0

Learnt a lot and some of the writing was good. One of the themes is family but I don’t feel like I got to see enough of the inner dynamics - lots of undeveloped potential. The narrative was quite disjointed/abrupt at times, to the point where I often had to rewind to make sure I hadn’t accidentally skipped a chapter.
