Transcript

Does this book get better?? Please help as I am HIGHLY considering DNFing. I'm on chapter 10 and I can't stand it. I really don't like it. I find both Cane and Dalia's voices in this, where he's trying too hard to be too raspy or whatever, and it's just I can't understand what he's saying half the time. Does it get better? I just can't stand it.
