The main reason I gave three stars is because this novel would greatly benefit from more editing/proofreading. However, I believe it has a lot of potential. There were many intriguing things that kept me reading, as well as the interactions between the various characters. In addition, although I was not really a fan of the main plot twist, it did take me by surprise, which is rather rare, and may appeal to other readers. If a newly edited version was published, I would recommend it without hesitating. ( )
