3.5

this novel is too short for the idea to be fleshed out enough. Would this be a couple 100 pages longer it could have been better because now things were extremely vague and pretty much glossed over which caused some distance between the reader and the story. Nothing in this story meant anything to me because everything happened so fast without giving the reader time to proces everything that happened. it was okay but ultimately it fell very flat for me
