I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book. Dark, thrilling, endearing. One of my favorites of the year!

I will say there isn't a breakthrough in momentum until quite aways in. But the slow build-up and parallels drawn between characters and timelines are crucial components to the payoff you receive near the end.

If you feel like giving up, DON'T. Give it a chance. The ingredients of this book are secretly very deadly. ;)
