What I thought (may give it away)
I was suckered in by the hype… The tone and pace was great, but the substance was not there. Fantastic writing and great storytelling. I liked the book very much, but can't give it an A due to the weight of the overall plot. But maybe that was the point to the character's dilema... (or maybe I'm jaded)
