Sadly, this book was not for me. I could read it with 100% of my attention until I reached the halfway point, but then I lost interest. It was too long, with too many characters and their nicknames, and too many parallel plots to keep track of. I just couldn't connect with the characters and found them bizarre at best. Our protagonist, Joss, is too forgiving for my liking. The final plot twist was the only thing that was surprising about the book.
