enyltiak's review against another edition

Was assigned this book for a class on historical perspectives in young adult literature and just somehow never finished it during the term. This was a year ago and I have just had zero desire or drive to finish it despite being so close. As a concept it was so intriguing, but ultimately the execution did nothing for me.
