The ending left very little to be desired for me. After all the events and build up, I was really expecting some fireworks, instead, I got 3 day old seaweed.

Overall it was great up until the last couple chapters and once it was done I felt like what was the point.

I only found out about this book after watching the TV show based on this book.

I loved the TV show and I'm one who always believes the book is better. In this instance it wasn't. The book was a bit of a let down.
