This was our book club read for October, and from the description it sounded like it would be pretty good. I actually had pretty high hopes for it in the beginning, but the story ended up getting bogged down by way too many character points of view
quite of few of them unlikableand not much ended up actually happening. This is the first book in a series and clearly it's one of those books that sets things up for future books. The problem is that I just didn't really care. There are also some pretty dark happenings. Mostly not described in detail, but some were more than I wanted to read. I feel like it's maybe wanting to be a Game of Thrones type book, which isn't my cup of tea.
