A decent, if standard, experience. Certain acts were fascinating, while others felt like a slight endeavor to complete. A fair 3 stars.

Honestly one of the most premium reading experiences lately. I became deeply invested in the protagonist's journey. A masterclass in storytelling. I am now a lifelong fan of this author.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. It possessed moments of brilliance, but the narrative felt slightly disjointed ultimately. Perfectly average.
