A Density of Souls

3.5 rounded up.

I suppose if Tarantino or Ryan Murphy did a daytime soap it would look something like this. You've got extreme bullying, spouse abuse, alcoholism, suicide, rape, domestic terrorism, murder, and all that is packed into 278 pages. It suffers from series pacing issues, way too many characters and one of the most confusing starts to a book ever. And yet, for all it's problems, I found the ending hugely satisfying despite the completely unnecessary epilogue.

In summary, a beautiful hot mess.
