I requested this book to read from Netgalley as the synopsis drew my attention and I really thought I would love it. Unfortunately, that was not the case! Upon first beginning the book I realised it was a translation however it was not translated brilliantly and I could notice that the first language this book was written in was not English. The poor translation put me off from the beginning. I also found that there was so much going on and so many characters and plots that I struggled to keep up and understand which character and plot the author was discussing. I also found that the plots would switch very suddenly in the middle of a chapter, with very little distinction which made it difficult to keep up with. It did not captivate me and took me a while to read as it felt more of a chore to pick it up. I feel like this is such a shame because the plot really does appeal to me and I feel like it could have been done so much better.
