I really struggled to get into the first 1/3 of the book but I soon connected with the characters and their stories.

This truly is a beautifully written book with powerful characters that seem real. I found my self absolutely hating some of them and loving others. I was worried I would get the cast mixed up as there are so many characters, but not to worry they are so individual in their characteristics and stories I can still recall them.

My favorite book of this era so far.
