Finished Book 1. Too many characters that inevitably didn’t matter. It’s getting better though, but it took awhile for the story to come to focus. I’d give it 3 stars right now, but I’m sure my final rating will be higher given I have high hopes for the rest of the novel.

Just noticed the DNF shelf that was added. Weird having to reflect on all the books I did not finish. Just added some major ones from the past year.

I ran out of listening hours on Spotify for this one… kept falling asleep, if that tells you anything. I guess I’ll return to it in a couple weeks.

“A” being Betty Hester is one of the best turn of events this book could take.

Overall thoughts so far: DENSE, but I’m having the time of my life.
