I would have absolutely loved this book if it was a little more focused, but it ended up pursing a lot of ultimately unsatisfying tangents, especially in the second act. Still glad I read it though.
This was good, but not quite as great as I had heard. Too much florid description of Owen's room. The ending was tedious and unnecessary.
