Strong main characters, but weak secondary. The first “book” was fast going and interesting, but the middle section, roughly 200 pages, was slow and a bit tedious. The last 100-150 pages were very good and the pacing felt natural and quick, without feeling like Towles was trying too hard to tie up all the bits.

3.5 stars. I think that it could have been 100 pages less and more enjoyable.
