This started out really interesting, then became flat, then some plot twists, and a really bad solution. 

The ending was absolutely not satisfying - not for the most obvious reason (I can definitely respect and appreciate that), but because it really didn't fit the rest of the plot. The story simply gets interrupted and yanked back into "real life", I guess.

I wanted to like this book so much and now I'm just sad and disappointed, like I've fallen for a ruse.
