Decent book. I will recommend it to friends and family that like this style of writing and genre otherwise the book wasn't my favorite. I can't really explain why it just wasn't and sometimes that happens.

the style of writing was great however.

I absolutely enjoyed this book!! It has all the things I love about reading!! It was so good! I couldn't get enough of it!!

I was unfortunately not able to finish this book. The reason was simply being unable to stomach some of the very graphic scenes of horrible violence. It is not something I can ever read of without a visceral reaction and feeling my own sense of fear. I stopped reading near the 15% mark but I am still giving the book 5 stars. It is very well written and I wanted to see how it played out. I am confident this book will find its audience. Initially it was a bit difficult to read due to the various names and the difficulty I had in understanding them being from America. I used the pronunciation guide frequently and that helped a lot. I will likely pick up reading a page here and there but I couldn’t easily stomach it reading at a normal pace. But that is often a sign of good writing. While the graphic descriptions of many atrocities is something I don’t read, being able to make your audience feel as the characters must feel is the mark of good writing.
