I only have this book on my shelf because Kiarah said that this was her favourite book, can't say it was one of mine.
The characters were undeveloped and I only really liked Chizara, because she defied Nate (freaking hate him), Flicker and Anon, the rest literally meant nothing to me. The plot could've been wrapped up 200 pages shorter, I feel like the excitement levels jumped all over the place with no consistency.
Not my first Westerfeld book, but can't say that I'll be buying the rest of the series, if I really feel like reading them I'll either grab them from the library or read them online.
Definitely not what I was expecting and I'll probably end up getting rid of this book anyway.
