I would like to thank the author for providing me with a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts expressed are my personal opinion. 

I really would like to apologize because I do think this book is written well, the writing in particular is really impressive. But I knew from the first two chapters this book wasn’t for me. So this is a case where the book did not fit with the reader rather than it being a “bad book”. 

I have tried to pick it up again and again but unfortunately my heart wasn’t in it. Thank you again for the author for trusting me with his work and I wish I could have provided something more.
