“I didnt really dislike this book but i didnt particularly like it either. His other books were much better in my opinion. Theres multiple povs but also different timelines for each character that its hard to get really into the story/character. I personally didnt like any of the characters that much although there were some touching moments. Very slow in the first half.”
