It took me like half the book to really get what is going on and catch up with all the characters and relationships and even then it didn’t manage to get me. It definitely went in a different direction than I expected, and though that isn’t an inherently bad thing, I really was in the mood for something I didn’t get, if that makes sense. I’m not saying this is a bad book or that you shouldn’t give it a shot, it just wasn’t for me.
