I don’t intend to downplay Dean’s previous works but there’s certainly a much more immersive and emotional core to this new book than I couldn’t personally find with his previous work. Also the narration alone brings a level of passion and life to this story that complements the plot massively. Plainly put this is a fantastically good time to just sink into. Like a good summer blockbuster, it’s worth it to just have a fun ride with decent characters and just deep enough development.
