This book has a lot of accolades so it had some big shoes to fill, but I think it did a great job in filling them. The characters are all written beautifully and their flaws are real, but they’re still likable. It started off a bit slow for me but it picked up fairly quick. I was never totally glued to it, but it did keep me reading longer than I planned and never put me to sleep. With time I may rank it higher, but for now I give it a 4; it’s well executed and vivid, but it doesn’t stay on my mind like other stories.
