A really good read

4 stars

A really good read, the main character is nuanced and the plot strong -- even though the trope "I have a really dark secret, let me tell you about it much later" is a bit overused in novels, it still works, as the story is more than just that.

It's a bit of a disappointment that, yet again, the reader is left to try to make sense of the characters, plot and wtf is going on. I wish I didn't have to go on forums to find out important information that was only very, very slightly hinted at in the book. It's one thing to want revelations and plot-twists and ah-ah-moments, it's another to leave the reader completely in the fog for 500 pages. If the writing wasn't that good and the characters that compelling, I would've left it a while ago.
