[3.5]

I struggled with rating this book because there are positives and almost equal negatives for me.

Positives:
- That ending was PERFECT!
- With the poetry style, Reynolds still did a good job with character development.
- The worldbuilding was decent.

Negatives:
- I have a HUGE pet peeve with broken grammar and it made me cringe so hard I nearly imploded every time. (I’m a grammar nerd, what can I say?)
- There were some back and forth with the backstory/plot that gave me a bit of whiplash.
- The language shifted between that broken grammar to more propar grammar inconsistently. I know it’s a stylistic choice but it didn’t have as much of an impact for me.

So yeah, some things I liked about Long Way Down and some things I disliked. Still glad I gave it a shot. I’d also like to read the graphic novel too. I think my library has it too!
