(1) the first 30% or so of the book drags on forever, with excessively long descriptions of every character and every location. I considered putting the book down multiple times while reading through those parts.
(2) a long cast of characters with multiple names for most characters. If it wasn't for Kindle's X-Ray feature (which shows short extracts for any character), I would have been very confused throughout the book.
(3) The heavy reliance on unique words from south-US didn't exactly help along the way.
If I wasn't padding it by reading another book or two in between chapters of this book, I would've been too bored with this book to reach the 40% mark. That's about where the story starts rolling, and once it does, there's no stopping it. The further I got into this book, the harder it became to put it down.
The story was great. It would have been better with shorter descriptions though.
