GrumpyMonday
I mean it's a huge achievement of a book. I don't like to rate it a 3 but I think you can get to what the book was after with significantly fewer words. With less pages it could easily be 4 or even 5. I cannot give it more now because I have to enjoy the book pretty much throughout to give 4 or 5.
I liked the characters and I liked the story. I think people misrepresent "when it picks up", It's much closer to the last 100 pages than the last 300 pages.
Those last beats of the story were good. But to get there was really drawn out. I have the next one, which I will probably continue with at some point.
