This is easily one of the worst books I've ever read. To call it slow would be too generous. More accurstely, it's intentionally plodding. It genuinely feels like OSC got bored with this story and just sorta threw a book 3 together because he was under contract.
This book is roughly 85% dialogue, and of that dialogur, 75% is truly painful to read.
This is a huge waste of time. Book 1 was a fun read. Book 2 got kinda bad. Book 3 was just a nightmare. It's like OSC was trolling is here. You keep thinking the next chapter will be better, but it never is.
Don't read this book.
