An average read for me. The pacing was a bit slow and I found myself skimming a few pages. It wasn't terrible, just okay. It's fine if you have nothing else to read.
Daniel BrownJuly 29, 2024
A very satisfying read. The author did a great job wrapping everything up at the end. No weird plot holes left behind. Worth the time and money.
