Got through this book on the second go-round. First time was DNF but decided to give it another chance. So...the book was good overall. Slow start but interesting things get going. I found the multiple perspectives from characters generally helpful but also a hindrance. I think Erik was a character I wanted to like but struggled with that. Lil was definitely enjoyable. Looking forward to the next book!
