Granddaughter love's the book
it's cool it's just slow moving and i'm a fast moving reader i need more action in a book so it just wasn't my genre, add a bit more stabby stabby, a bit more runny from the governmenty, maybe, it was just hard to get through with my attention span, but who knows you might be different
