3.0

 Engrossing but very strange. Characters interesting but characterization seemed inconsistent; vague misogynistic feel, incl. from protagonist; treatment of race was slightly questionable; decent suspense, but felt like it was building up to a reveal that never came; ending was dramatic and sudden but not quite fulfilling; romance underexplained/shallow; overall, dark and suspenseful but odd vibes and plot developments dampened effect
