5.0
This book is downright cinematic. The descriptions of the settings, the actions, the people were so visceral that I marveled and gagged (literally). It was a little slow in the beginning as it built tension and a sense of unease. But when it got going, it went at full speed. And yet it still didn’t feel rushed. There was so much to reveal, but I never felt like exposition was being vomited at me. The characters are engaging, the plot had me at the edge of my seat. 10/10.
