This was an incredibly intriguing novel that never went where I thought it would go. Completely unpredictable, the story unfolded in a confusing and yet interesting way, pulling you in and along. I'm very interested to read the next part of the story...

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

This book was such a disappointment. Really interesting plot and setting ruined by absolutely atrocious, repetitive, tell-instead-of-show writing and irritating, one-note characters. I’m going to read a plot summary and move on to something better.
