3.0
I quite liked this book, but it was not a super easy read. There were a lot of details and moving pieces. A lot of characters emotions are very understated, which means that you do get to know them maybe better than in characters in other books, since there's so many nuances shown, but on the other hand I didn't feel like I really related to them a lot. The plot is interesting but has a very wide reach but also is very detailed. It just felt like there's a really good story there and really interesting dynamics between characters, but there's so much other stuff that as a whole it was more work than I wanted it to be.
