I just finished it yesterday and I was really impressed with all of it. I agree it was a slow start but that’s because as the reader it was hard for me to sort out what was going on until over 1/3 of the way through the book. Many of AT’s books are as good or better on the reread and this is one I look forward to reading again. This year I’ve been saving money by using the library for my reads but this one stands out as a book to keep on the shelves for when I’m ready to dive in again. Loved it.
