I’m actually not sure if I liked or disliked this book. It was much darker than expected but also not as engaging as I had hoped. Generally it was fine and well written—apart from some sentences that felt a bit off but that’s probably more a personal thing. The ending was a bit philosophical all of a sudden which felt rather out of character and more meta from the author, but it fit well and I was glad it was the last chapter and there were no more surprises. Obviously one wonders what happened to the bos and families after this, which is a good thing. I wouldn’t want a forced second part though.
