I’m just trying to get through this as quick as I can because this is severely overhyped. It’s fine but I have so many other books on my shelf calling out to me. No point DNFing as I’m getting there and it’s so long, but so much hype and for what?

Also, I’m really not seeing the lauding this book gets. People quoting it as the best book of all time. Thrilling. Captivating. Paced brilliantly.
So far, it’s just fine. This middle section is frankly dull and is sagging. WHERE IS MY REVENGE? I get that it takes planning but for that last 427 pages it’s been about other people and no obvious revenge plotting…. -_-

Whoops. 🙈 I have been forgetting to update this as I’ve been reading.
