@Bennv3771: Thank you so much for your feedback! I removed some extraneous details and adjectives, but it's just a really plot-heavy book. Do you think it looks better now? Aolundsmith (talk) 19:58, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for trimming down the plot summary. It still seemed long per WP:NOVELPLOT so I've trimmed it down further. As I haven't read the novel, feel free to correct any errors I made. Bennv3771 (talk) 03:52, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

The article still mostly consists of the plot summary, with a small reception section. If you're interested in improving the article further, you can consider adding an infobox and expanding the article body based on the guidelines given in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Novels#Article body.
