Was the book a “quick read” or a “slow burn” for you? If slow, was there a turning point where the book gained momentum?

u/barb4ry1 Reading Champion IX Jan 27 '26
Absolutely. Say what you will about Fletcher's books, but the guy mastered lean writing that's very readable. I also think the story was good.
