This is a frustrating and odiously problematic book, but I would be a big fat liar if I said I did not genuinely enjoy reading it. It was at least three hundred pages too long and had some of the most god awful and vile characters I've ever read, but damn I couldn't stop reading it. That said, I doubt I would have liked this as much had I not watched the tv show. I'm giving this a 4, but I'd put this somewhere between 3.5 and 4.

I began this book on the second full day of my covid-convalescence. All I read was the e-reader version from my library. I finished it in a little more than 2 days, and I did not sleep well on those two nights.

I have mixed opinions on this. I found the beginning and the end to be very slow, with the end becoming a laborious process to get through (much skimming was involved). The rest was entertaining, but repetitive. It was fun and kept me entertained while stuck on the couch with an injury. However, I don't know that I have the desire to read any of the other books in the series.

A bit long, but quite a good story. We'll written and interesting.
