I would give this three and a half stars. I liked this book but I didn't love it; not because it wasn't good but just because it didn't resonate with me. It's very stylized; the dialogue can be stilted and there are odd spaces in the story. There is a flatness to it, as if all events are given the same emotional weight. I'm certain it's a deliberate choice--Moore is clearly a very talented and deliberate writer--but the result, for me, was a feeling of disengagement from the story and the characters in it. The prose is lovely, but I wasn't excited to find out what happened next.
