I'm not sure what to say about this book. It started off good. Then it went very dark and sort of lulled. It was inconsistent strength of writing. It had such promise but ultimately fizzled out at the end. I felt like all the detail and story was packed into the front end of the book and by the end the author wasn't sure what to do with the direction he had driven the novel in. And it just sort of ended without any passion in writing. That said. It was still an interesting read but not a favourite.
