3.0

Technically this bookhad a lot of interesting and well done things, I found the use of present vs past tense interesting and there were a lot of descriptions and turns of phrase that were very unique and interesting. Overall I don't think the story was that compelling, though the worldbuilding had potential, and I found the ending disappointing.
