20 days to read a basically 400 paged book. This is a very VERY rare thing for me. I usually churn these books over in 2-4 days, depending on how much reading time I have and how good the book is. 20 days to read this book really only demonstrates one thing: I didn't enjoy it. It was beginning to become a chore to read. It wasn't until like just before 300 pages that I actually began to remotely enjoy this book. I don't think I'll be moving on to the sequel straight away, but I might come back around to it. Eventually. Maybe. The last roughly 100 pages did the premise of this story justice, so it might be enough to redeem the trilogy. I think it was just how the story was written. I honestly like the idea of it all. It was just written in a way that made reading it seem agonising.
