This book started off very exciting - I was immediately hooked and devouring it.

Somewhere just before the middle section started, this enjoyment waned. This was partly due to a plot point (no spoilers) and a lot due to the storytelling just becoming very stretched out. The whole middle of the book could have been so much tighter - the plot didn't need all that room to breathe and the pace before the slowdown had been excellent and quick. Perhaps Lynskey was trying to make a certain page count?

Things picked back up, eventually, but my enjoyment never hit the same highs as before. The ending was satisfactory, but not a whole lot more than that.

A decent read, and better than a lot of books, but ultimately not as good a book as it promised to be in early chapters, and not as good as it should have been.
