This book slowly got less interesting over time - possibly because it's so long, but possibly because I took a very long time to read it. Maybe I'm just a little dumb, but I felt like the ending came out of nowhere and was very abrupt. I was really invested in Arent and Sammy's dynamic from the very first page - which kept me invested throughout most of the book, hoping to see more of them interacting together.
