It was a very interesting book. Read it physically and for some reason I couldn’t get into it immediately. Story picked up pace around like 200 pages in? Very very interesting concept. What is human nature? Is it evil or good? Thebookleo’s review is very good. I found it a bit hard to digest (emotionally) snow’s inner monologue because it was so twisted that it was genuinely disgusting at times. So, emotionally, I wanted to put down the book cuz it was hard to read in that aspect. But, if I read it in a detached manner perhaps I could’ve thought about it more. I was very affected by the climax…..when lucy realises snow’s deception (or doesn’t) and snows spiral, and betrayal) He was a very unreliable narrator. We never get to know how Lucy actually was. I was struck by sejanus’ death for some reason, I didn’t think he’d die should’ve appreciated him more……also, the ending is very up to interpretation. Lucy does become a mystery like the girl in the ballad…. I just really really dislike snow which made it hard for me to read his thoughts hence the low rating.
