I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.
This book has a lot of words, but I don't feel like it says anything.
I knew I was in for it when it had two prologues. They weren't both called one, but structurally, there were two.
This book has too many POV characters. Or at least too many that are indistinguishable narratively. Because of that, I would forget whose chapter I was reading constantly, and I wasn't connecting to anything or anyone. It made it hard to connect to the characters and care about the plot.
It got to the point where I was more skim-reading than actually absorbing what I was reading. There is potential in this book. It just never reached the point, for me, that pulled me into the story. It was very surface-level for me.
