Idk. It wasn't great or anything ... I almost felt like dnf'ing, but I didn't because I was reading this for the Book Battle challenge in April.
Definitely not much of a comparison between the book and the show–I like what another Goodreads user wrote saying that the book and the tv show are more like distant cousins.
As for a review on the book, I think it does accomplish what it attempts. The author seems to focus more on the interpersonal, human element, especially focusing on the individual relationships between a few key characters. There were some sweet moments between the characters and I loved imagining the safety that one felt with their beloved. I don't think the book alone captivated me to keep reading. If I did keep reading, it would only be to see what is different between the book and the tv show. All in all, not a terrible read in and of itself, however, not necessarily for me.
All right, popped my audiobook cherry with this one and I enjoyed it.
Usually when it switches perspective between characters I normally ditch the book as I don't like when books are written with more than two people's perspective, but it worked well with the audiobook. The only thing that didn't work well was when the characters were having flashbacks. There was no indication when they had one, so it was hard to figure out if they were still at the present time or in a flashback.
Otherwise it was decent, I liked it better than the TV-show, and I watched that years ago. The only thing that really annoyed me was Glass.. Who names their character Glass?
