It was a very slow and detailed read but also fascinating in its own way. Pretty much everything happens in the last 40 pages so if you feel like giving up but keep going back to it, make sure you at least read the final few chapters to hear how everything turns out. I liked that there was an eerie, haunting quality to the book while still having interesting characters and multiple story lines. I listened to the audio book after initially buying the digital book because that was easier for me!
