I kind of had to drag myself through the middle third (probably didn’t help that I was very tired whilst reading) - at that point I’d give this book 2 stars - but I’m glad I kept reading because the last fifty pages or so really pulled it together. Thus the 3 stars.

I didn’t expect the protagonists to be so interconnected in the end. I feel a bit stupid for not noticing some of the more obvious connections earlier on...

As much as I would’ve liked a ‘complete’ ending, I think what turned out works because it lets you fill it in. And I like to think that the author intended it to be a positive ending, because that’s the way the last few chapters seemed to paint it in my mind.
