I flew through the last half of this book because it began to build on itself. Tinti intersperses glimpses into Samuel Hawley's life before with chapters from his daughter Loo's perspective, creating a cruel world of Hawley's own design. The book comes across as careless and a bit flippant about violence, but it doesn't diminish the emotional complexity of father-daughter relationships and the lengths people will go to protect their loved ones. It has the kind of pacing that I wish [b:Idaho 30141401 Idaho Emily Ruskovich https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1477489980s/30141401.jpg 50575377] had had.
