I hate leaving a book unfinished, so I did get to the end of this one; it was a little bit of a push but not the hardest book I’ve tried to finish.
There were things I liked about it, and some things I felt were unnecessarily melodramatic. Something bad happens, and they spend a lot of time dwelling on it. Realistic, perhaps, but not what I was looking to get out of the story. I think the story would have been just fine without that development.
