I really liked the storyline following Hadrian and Royce, especially the ending - but I didn't care much about Gwen and her part. Every time it switched to her, I couldn't wait to go back to the guys. To me it felt like her brothel troubles slowed down the whole thing. Also, many of the arguments felt rather... circular. Don't do it, I'm gonna do it, don't do it, I'm gonna do it. Or do it, I won't, do it, I won't. What really surprised me was the twist with Pickles. Didn't expect that at all. Interesting.
