I'm actually in awe of how this book made me feel. It took me a second to get into the world in the beginning, but after that the pace just never let me feel okay with the fact that I had to put it down. There wasn't a single dry period. Every plot twist or show of the author's hand through the length of the book make me feel almost too overwhelmed to keep reading, but in the exact way I would want. This book is absolutely rock solid and definitely in the top three books I've ever read. It almost makes me ill. I will have to start the Wayward Children series...
