This was just ok. There were parts that I enjoyed and parts that just dragged. I can see why people love this book and I can see why people wanted it to end.
I really enjoyed the concept of found family and the search for family, this always is a great foundation for a story, you just learn so much about the characters and their quirks and some of their history. And loved the octopus, oh my gosh he was so great! On the flip side what I didn’t enjoy was the POV of Cameron, I was very confused as to why we were getting this person at all then the connections start making sense and then you’re like awwww okaayyyy but he was just annoying, I wanted LESS of him and MORE of Marcelius.
