Theory of Bastards

This book is as strange as the other reviews say..for the first half. I thought the first half was brilliant I loved the way it entwined the research with the story and the characters own issues. In the second half in comparison it felt aimless and almost generic. I still enjoyed it and I somewhat see the merit in the second half but I don't think it needed to be as long as it is even then.

3.5? I roll it up for now but depending how much it stays with me I might lower it down instead. First half was an easy 4.
