I'd read another by the author because I did like the writing style and the protagonist's voice. I would only hope that her next book be a bit more focused. Maybe this is the first of a series so the author tried to give us all the background she could? I don't know.
Anyway, you may feel differently. Every reader is different.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for hooking me up!
