I feel so conflicted about this one. I loved the beginning of the book and the ending. Both gave full 5 star vibes for me. The middle part though... hmm... I really don't know... Some parts were so confusing to me. It was like I lost my English knowledge. I knew what all the words meant on their own but they didn't make sense bundled up together. I'm not sure if it was the writing style of Stephen Graham Jones (this being the first book I read by him) or slang of the time or something to do with me... It was most prevalent in the "action" scenes. I just couldn't keep up with what was happening... But all the things I could keep up with, I absolutely loved!
So yeah what to rate this... After half a day of consideration I settled on a good 3.5 stars. Which is really mostly coming down to the ending which totally got me. So everything less than a 3.5 just felt wrong. But with how much I struggled to get through it (never felt like such a slow reader than with this) anything above also felt wrong...
