Feeling like that after 150 pages means it's time to go.
I have very high hopes for my next read - but I'm not going to name it in case I jinx it.  |
Mycroft is the ultimate unreliable narrator, less in what he says than what he leaves out. The world building is brilliant, but there were too many unlikeable characters for me to truly enjoy it, but I'm withholding final judgment until I read the upcoming fourth book.
