I liked it. Kind of disappointed that the most (if not only) somewhat likable character gets murked in the end, but it was definitely an interesting read.
None of the characters are especially likable - I felt like I didn't get to know the MC well enough to root for her. I loved the references to Japanese history, folklore, and art. I REALLY could not stand Talia and I almost felt sorry for Faiz (but not really). I appreciated how real the ending was and the kind of dumbness that followed. Overall, it just felt like I was bearing witness to a disaster - but it was an enjoyable one.
