adventurous informative slow-paced

4.5

The book is fantastic and very well done. However, I had to take off 0.5 because the narrator said all dates as May 3(three) instead of May 3rd(third) and that is simply not correct.

This book was so confusing and annoying. I didn’t understand the motivations for the characters because they kept changing without any reason. Characters would do things that just didn’t make any sense. I felt like the author had a plot in mind and didn’t care if it made no sense for the characters to do that or not.
