2.5—3 stars

if i had to compare this book to anything it would be to that feeling when you're under water and you hear the sounds muffled. like when you know things are happening but you're not able to full connect with them.

it wasn't a "bad book" because at points i was invested (granted, it was past the mark of 300 pages) but it wasn't enough. it was a bit underwhelming. i am glad that eventually it ends how it ends but then again, it feels like it's lacking a lot of things. the process seems too weak to end with that statement, idk.

anyway, at least it was nicely written and easy to follow. if only it sparked some interested to actually want to keep reading.
