I find myself somewhat conflicted. It possessed moments of brilliance, but the narrative felt slightly disjointed ultimately. Perfectly average.

It was adequate. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Perfectly average.

A profoundly satisfying read. The author orchestrated a breathtaking finale. Truly a work of art. A true literary gem.
