I picked this up from the library hearing all of these amazing things about it, and started reading it. Maybe because I read it too fast, maybe because it was very short, but I felt like I couldn't connect with the characters. They felt flat  the descriptions of the characters all felt the same, and there were so many names, I felt they were just copy and paste the same character with a few differences. The setting was described very little, but there was some of it, but it was mostly left to the person's imagination. It just felt meh all throughout the book until a little bit at the end. Oh, well. Some hits and some misses. Sadly this one was a miss.
