I decided to read this a second time to see if my viewpoint was changed. It has. I find that it's actually quite a tragic story, and the outcome is even more tragic. But it's an interesting story in my opinion. I gave too much slack last time I read it. Though I will admit, it's terribly paced and the ending would hit harder if this story was longer. It feels rushed.
