The beginning was super slow and I found it kinda hard to get into, but the story had some nice twists and turns and was thus not predictable, which was cool. 
The ending ramped up in intrigue and I did quite enjoy the last act of the book. I just think it could’ve been a bit condensed as some parts dragged a little. 
But still enjoyed it, and the narrator for the audiobook was great too.
