Reviews

[Eve1972]

I wish we could give half stars because this is more of a 3 and a half star book. The first 400-500 pages where really good, sucked me in, great characters, great writing etc. The last 200-300 pages dragged a bit for me unfortunately and I started to skim read over all the union stuff to get back to the more interesting characters. Overall though, definitely worth the read!
