I’m amazed at how much I disliked this book. It was like the perfect storm of bad.

I don’t know. Is it three stars? Four? It’s very twisty. Some I saw coming and some I didn’t. But - and I don’t know if this is a result of being written by two authors - the writing seemed uneven. More than once I had to turn back a page thinking I’d turned two by mistake because the sentence i was reading didn’t seem like it should follow the sentence before.
