Book of Night

A was pleasantly surprised by this book.
It had a relatively rough start - not very likeable main character and super depressing setting. And though, both of those didn't change much throughout the book, the story was good. And easy to read.
I guessed the big twist somewhat midway through the book, but to no detriment to it - I guessed it because I wanted it to happen that way, not because the author had done a bad job.
And that ending - loved it!
I took away a star because the world building was a bit rough and most of the side characters sort of blended together (which I guess is expected for a 300-page fantasy book).
